Gadget Freaks

When I first "discovered" RSS, I included in my subscriptions several gadget site feeds. But it wasn't too long before I realized that they were mostly marketing drivel in the guise of editorial material. I tend to be a bit of a Luddite gadget freak (if that's possible), insisting that my gadgets improve my life in some way. For example, even though I've used iTunes from the beginning, I only recently found an iPod (2G Shuffle) that met my needs. Now, here comes some scathing commentary on the gadget site genre from a former Gizmodo editor. [via boingboing]
