Nice Job, Mainstream Media
Date : 2008 02 26 Category : Tech & Development CrunchNotesI’d call PC Magazine Editor in Chief Lance Ulanoff’s article about Facebook (reprinted here by Fox News) a hit job, except that it is so utterly devoid of logic and actual analysis that it really can’t be classified as anything other than a sad commentary on the state of technology reporting in mainstream media.
His argument is that some Facebook users want to leave the service, and that this is similar to AOL subscribers wanting to leave the service in the late nineties. AOL has lost subscribers, so Facebook is certain to run into trouble, too.
Seriously, that’s his argument.
WTF.
See Mathew Ingram for more. I just can’t be bothered to spend any more time on this.
