Still sucks. It's a pity because boing used to be great(a long time ago). Now it's just: 1. girls with ukeleles(or some other recent fetish) 2.crap that gets posted because it fits with the politics of the author. If Glenn Beck was pro-creative commons boing would post how fantastic his ideas are. 3. articles about how fantastic x or y product is, because they obviously get a reduction if they write a positive article.

I read BB every morning for years, then every month or two, and now, basically, not at all. I really miss the old BB. What, there's nothing else wonderful under the sun anymore? I don't believe it for a second. I stopped reading BB about a year ago due to all of the above PLUS all of the recent sexism spilling off their pages.

BB Newbs like me don't even know what the site was like when it was good (was it ever?). These days they are just re-blogging shit I saw on other sites 4 days ago. And that Xeni whore is just obnoxious. it’s 2009 and they still suck. BB Newbs like me don’t even know what the site was like when it was good (was it ever?).

AUTOMATTIC IS NEXT. Good to know BB still sucks in 2009, I love that this 3-year-old blog post is the go-to place for people who have some beef with them. Although they have every right to delete all the comments they want, I don't think anybody can deny that it's just plain lame.
