I read the post and was left waiting for the punchline... Where is the argument for startups having run out of ideas? I mean there is not connection between the PG paper (a list of submission topics he would like to see) and the title of startups having run out of ideas.
Anyway, it's just a very shortened talk about PGs paper. Does anyone find anything in the post actually interesting?
- mechanical_fish 18y agoWell, this might be a good example for PG's request #3: "New News". My initial inclination is to deride the Guardian's obvious lack of ideas -- it's easy for me to laugh at this me-too article, because I'm a news.yc reader already. But from the point of view of a Guardian reader who has barely heard of PG, this might be a very good article. It certainly reflects my opinion that journalism would be better if it spent more time linking people to good content written by credible experts and less time misquoting them, jeering at them for being mere "bloggers", or trying to pretend that ignoring them will make them all go away. But, yes, the title makes no sense and is obvious linkbait. Amateurish linkbait. The Guardian's editors need to hire some linkbaiting consultants with Digg experience.
- rickd 18y agoI absolutely agree with this. The article title seems like little more than something mildly controversial to lure clicks. The author using this title and then stating that two of Graham's ideas are something she needs only proves it: no.
