- Zikes 10y agoHe's a content curator for a particular category of content. Would you prefer to follow all of the relevant sources and sift through the cruft yourself?
- DanBC 10y agoBut people should be submitting the original source, not Schneier's link, unless he adds something useful.
- marcosdumay 10y agoReading a couple dozen different sources and summarizing anything interesting in them is useful.
- Zikes 10y agoI can agree with that, however his interest in an issue is a primary indicator of its importance for me.
- dijit 10y agoBecause not only is he a world renowned expert in his field he is also able to break things down for the common audience.
