Should TechRepublic merge with FaceBook?
LockedI read and contribute (constructively I hope) to many of the discussions on TechRepublic.
Sometimes the level of the discussion is very good, is extremely professional and constructive.
However, there are many (too many) occasions when the “discussion” turns into a “my browser is better than your browser” or “Microsoft is crap” some such garbage like you’d expect from a couple of 8 year olds.
The “discussion” turns into the sort of thing I expect to see, in fact do see, on FaceBook.
For example, in a recent discussion (MS buying Adobe), a large number of respondents weighed in with “Microsoft is bloatware”, “Microsoft is crap” etc.
They didn’t contribute anything constructive, just a load of whining. Rarely were reasons given (other than “bloatware” etc) why the merger was a bad idea.
IMO, if you read a blog and have nothing to contribute other than a whine (e.g. “bloatware” etc), don’t bother to post a reply.
What do others think?
