Tool-ified Meta-tagged overkill is not limited to news sites, we bloggers are guilty of it too. I’m all for meta data and empowering tools, but we’ll need to find a proper balance between them and actual content. Sometimes the whole thing reminds me of browser buttons people decorated their sites with back in ’96. "This site is best viewed in a browser on a computer screen." Doh.

About this blog

I'm CEO of an online trade publishing firm in the marketing and defense verticals. We try to make news and data digestible and useful in an environment that is more noisy each day. This personal blog mixes my thoughts and interests on politics, business, software, and more, based on my business and personal experiences. Over the years I have posted items that turned out spectacularly wrong, and a few posts that stood the test of times better. Personal views only.
