“As far as Digg goes, well, Digg is just Slashdot, only without the quality of content and incisive commentary. ”

But also without the pretension, the “know-it-all”ness, the “I’m God’s gift to programming” garbage. Digg has less substance than slashdot but is a lot more fun. :p

But Scoble is smoking funny if he thinks that Digg is a place to get real news about anything.

If you think that “Tech Industry” == “blogging and nothing more” then yes, Robert’s link blog is indeed, all that.

However, if your view of the tech industry is a bit broader and deeper? Then, not so much.

I would say Robert’s classification for his link blog is somewhat aspirational, but it’s a good aspiration, because his link blog is excellent. Exceptional in many ways. Alot of people would be wise to scan it. I’m one of them.

The new tech trade press? My link blog + TechMeme + Digg + Google Reader.

Robert, you’re going to need an SUV to hold your ego soon. Maybe in the “omgSCOBLE” bubble you live in, your link blog has any validity, but in the sysadmin/IT world? You don’t exist. Oh, I’m sure you think you do, but really, you don’t. HD? Xbox? Esoteric shit out of MSR, IBM/Almaden and the rest? Who makes the best streaming home video?

Who.Cares.

You’re so beyond clueless if you think your link blog and techmeme are a huge part of most people’s day. Especially your link blog.

As far as Digg goes, well, Digg is just Slashdot, only without the quality of content and incisive commentary.

Google reader? Meh. Everything is doing RSS now, the value of any dedicated news reader program is minor unless you happen to like the UI.

I’m actually impressed that you think you’re some kind of leader in the Tech Press world. Well, more at the grandiose size of your delusions of grandeur, and more de- than im-, but i’m definitely pressed.
