The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ouch-that-hurts dept.

TopShelf writes "Business 2.0 recently ran a feature on the Top 50 People Who Matter in the business world, but perhaps more interesting is their list of the 10 People Who Don't Matter. Leading off the list is a Slashdot favorite, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer..." Given, Rob's in there as well, but I'd say his company in the list is pretty decent.

  1. /. on the list! by andrewman327 · · Score: 0, Redundant
    From TFA: "Rob Malda Slashdot.org Remember the days when "getting Slashdotted" was every sysadmin's worst nightmare? Referrals from the "News for Nerds" website would send so much traffic to websites that many crashed. But for those that survived the flood, it was the online equivalent of a papal benediction. Today, the buzz has moved elsewhere. Slashdot's editor-driven story selection model is being supplanted by user-generated systems such as Digg. According to recent Alexa data, Digg already has more daily reach and generates more page views than Slashdot. Malda knows his subject, and he's a good editor, but in the end, he's just no match for the power of the multitudes."

    In a word, wow.

  2. Bias is my beef.... by Procrastin8er · · Score: 0, Redundant

    My humble opinion is that /. is dying, at least partly, because of bias. From article selection to discussion, you can predict what stories will run and what the discussion will be, and how they will get moderated. Boring... Just my 2 cents.

    Discussion site? Try carrying on a friendly discussion on /. Every time you turn around you're getting modded down for not staying exactly on the exact subject at hand. There's barely any friendly banter here because no one can get anything across without getting modded down by some lamer.
