Since it was published,

April 27, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Since it was published,

a few people have noted misgivings about the article by Janice Fraser that I linked to last week; notably Andre Torrez, maker of a great number of really cool things on the net. See also Kottke’s A whole new internet?. I still like Fraser’s piece, but it doesn’t capture the whole story – the story you already know if you’re a maker of things on the internet. But for a non-maker audience – reader, community participant, casual browser – I think the piece does have merit and is still worth a read.

    Yeah, that’s why I didn’t say anything, either here when you posted the link, on my own site, or in the comments else where. The article is short-sighted and just so much “trade show rah rah” to those of us “in here”, but is useful, to some extent, to “continue preaching to the masses”. Ugh. A few ways to put this. “Preaching to the converted” is pretty much the worst thing we can accuse Ms. Frasier cause I suspect it’s mostly the “been there, done that”‘s who read her (but I’m prolly wrong there).

    In fact, I am kind of on the fence with Adaptive Path as a whole lately. The tone in their articles has very much shifted from them talking to the developers/etc, to trying to get an audience with the media and the moneys etc. explaing stuff to them. A good idea to be sure, but hey they were a big part of the dev community… I expect to see Janice, Jeff or that other guy on CNN any day now. ;)

    Rambling rambling rambling… sorry. :)
