Editor: WTF are you telling me this for!?!?! Write bitch, write!!!
Writer: AH! DAMN IT! MG Seigler beat us again!!!!!
Editor: *shakes fist at computer*
If you think I am over exaggerating, think again. Excusing the “write bitch, write!!!” bit (I have this fetish with cussing at least once in every post) I am actually pretty spot on. I know the game, I have played it, albeit temporarily. It’s all about being first (which makes MG the bane of almost every tech bloggers existing that do not write for TechCrunch) to get the numbers.
Sadly, this numbers game has lead to crap, crap, crap and OH!!!! YOU GUESSED IT!
More crap.
So instead of bitching about it (haha, I swore twice!!! should I make it a third?) like I usually do, I am proposing a solution!
Every tech blogger should take ceramics and master the art of making a cup.
Oh, don’t worry, I hear the screams of torture already as bloggers think about touching their pristine iPhone’s with clayed up hands. God forbid the Apple logo be scratched!
But there is a reason behind my madness, and here it is!
Making a good cup takes time, just like writing a good post takes time.
There is not ONE cup that was made fast that looked good. Sure, it might’ve looked good, but once you put it in the kiln, the piece will crack.
Much like many tech bloggers posts. When put under light scrutinization you see all the holes in their post.
If you take your time though, a cup will come out of the kiln with little to no cracks and will be of long term value. Same applies to a well written post, there will be very little to tear apart and you can expect it to be linked to or be a topic of discussion.

So tech bloggers, learn how to make a good cup.
That is all.
