Can't comment on the article, since I don't know that much about the Wordpress scene. But man, the author is a whiny critic type. Here's just a few from his last 10 articles: "Twitter Peaks To Media Overkill, Is Real Time Search Dead", "Comment Systems Comparison Update: Disgusted With Disqus", "Swoopo May Be Most Profitable, Ingenius Online Business. But Is It Legal?", "eBay’s Problem: Biting The Hand That Feeds It" Yeah. This guys appears to be a loser who creates nothing of value, and points out holes in other people's creations. One of the hardest things about trying to do something of value is learning to mostly dismiss people like him. It's still a challenge - no ones like to be criticized. But wow, it's easy to talk a lot of trash when you're not doing anything. One of my favorite quotes - Teddy Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
