I find Schneier's blogs infuriatingly annoying, mainly because to me it feels like he doesn't interject his own ideas, rather focusing on content from other locations (even if some of those locations are references to himself).
I feel that the point of a blog should be to present your own ideas, rather than leaning on content from others. Give me the entire story on one page; don't make me click to 3 or 4 other sources.
- Kliment 16y agoWell, I feel it acts as a security aggregator. There is some original content there at times, but the value, in my opinion, is the commentary, and the aggregation. A lot of people send Schneier news, and a lot of people read his blog. It's a convenience service.
- jdp23 16y agolooking at his front page right now, about 20% of the posts have some significant perspective from him. because of Schneier's credibility and clear explanations, a lot of people who aren't security professionals follow his blog as their primary source for security news. also when he highlights a story, it often leads to additional coverage on places like boing boing, slashdot -- and Hacker News. so his style's optimized for that.
