Re:Slashdot Removes A Step...

First of all, if you would follow the link you might have found out that the web-site which is linked in the article isn't my own blog, but is just the project "Web-Dev-Bookmarks".

Besides, I don't see any problem in announcing my web-site which might be useful for web-developers.

As you might have read in the introduction, I created this list (initially) for my purposes. As a web-designer and a member of some lets call it web-design-groups, I need those tools mentioned in my list practically every day. I dont want to create 40 icons in my Opera Toolbar; neither am I interested in spending hours for searching for the right links, Ive seen once, moved to my bookmarks and forgot about the moment I did it.

I wanted to have a list, which was accessible, useful and essential. I created it for myself, for my work and for my fellows web-developers I work with. But since other users might have been interested in the project as well, I invested a little bit more time (4-5 days) in order to give them the opportunity to make use of it. Whats wrong with that? At least, you could appreciate the time I invested in it.
And, besides, may I ask what do you mean with "Ye gods, this is lame"?

Re:The most obvious Slashvertisement ever

[vitaly.friedman]

I appreciate your criticism and your opinion; however, I just cant understand one small, tiny, little thing: ok, such directories arent perfect, they are subjective and they arent the masterpieces made by abandoned genius(es?). But if at least a hundred of users make use of it, then they actually ARE useful for them, arent they? Ok, you are a professional, you dont need that; but many people do - would it be better if such a directory didnt exist? Frankly, I dont think so. You?

Now few words about your points.

"This is most obvious Slashvertisement ever..."

Am I asking you to pay for the content? Is it a commercial resource? Is it an advertisement?

"theres not even any content/review"

We could talk about it. What exactly should be added? What exactly do you mean?

"I must say the book seems totally useless to any serious developer."

Well, maybe it isn't good enough for you, but it is good enough for visitors which are thankful for creating this list. And for me, it's the only thing that counts, really.
