Totally agree. There is so much vanity & too much noise.
Also, it's very difficult to have an interesting conversation.
It's better to follow interesting people using a reader (i prefer Google Reader)
- ludwig 17y agoWhy not do both? Some tidbits of information don't merit an entire blog post, but in aggregate they can be quite useful. I do agree with you regarding the noise level, but followcost.com has helped me a lot when deciding whether to follow someone or not. Incidentally, @newsycombinator on twitter has been one of my favorites, due to the steady stream of interesting links :-)
- Periodic 17y agoRe: @newsycombinator But then you've thrown out the voting and the comments, which is the whole reason I come to news.ycombinator.com. Did this article get 100 points or 10? Does it have 50 comments or 5? Time is precious. I need context!
- ludwig 17y agoRe: Re: @newsycombinator No, if it's interesting enough (which is most of the time), I'll actually visit the site again. But you're right, I do wish it linked to HN first instead of sending me directly to the article.
