blogging

In the old days everybody making his life online knew content was king. The best sites were those with the most useful information and well written articles attracted loyal, often educated, audiences. Nobody cared about fancy Ajax based widgets, clicks on ads or lots of links to social networks and bookmarking services.

Indeed, content and good writing were important back in the oldies.

Then, around 1999, blogs became the next big thing and suddenly everybody was adding tons of garbage to the Web. King Content started a long and painful death in the hands of zillions of bloggers due to many reasons, I'd like to share just five of them. This is why I think blogging is killing good content.
