I was never very impressed by Mashable. Far too much linkbait.

Far too many "100 ways to" or "Be sure not to miss" and then their "tips" being rehashing of other people's work or thigns I could've thought of myself too, especially with a little Google work.

Mashable is essentially a low-quality content farm. Certainly no place for a self-respecting geek to get tech news.

Seems to work to sell for $200M :-)

No. Rather seems to be a _part_ of work that got them to sell for $200MM. Mashable has executives with very deep connections. I say this was more important.

Mashable represents what media has become; popularist, global and free. This is largely driven by us believe it or not, with help from the Internet off course.
