"The collateral damage isn’t so obvious but it’s undoubtedly there. Amidst my 400 unread Boing Boing links are probably ten or fifteen that are probably real gems. But I’ll never know and Boing Boing sure as hell isn’t going to help me out."
I have to disagree. Lots of blogs, such as Boing Boing do help you find the 'real gems.' (see Don't Miss) The author mentioned Gizmodo. They do the same with their header.
"If Samsung comes out with a higher capacity battery for one of their mobile phones, Gizmodo is going to write about it."
True, and as brandnewlow mentioned, this is for SEO purposes. I scan the RSS feed and click through to the articles that look interesting, while passing over the latest battery news.
Finally..not sure what the overall argument is here? Most newspapers have more stories in them (especially on a Sunday) than the majority of people will ever read. Just because it arrives once a day doesn't really change things. The author would like blogs to list all of the previous days posts the following morning? Can't you already do that by browsing archives by date?
