Personal Blog

I subscribe to the ZDNet RSS feeds. Today I was reading my feeds, and I came up upon an article that was basically criticizing Google.. and I thought to myself.. hang on a second, I think I’ve seen articles like this from ZDNet before…

So I jumped onto the ZDnet website and had a search for Google. What do you know, over and over again I found blog posts of someone who doesnt relay like Google. Meet Donna Bogatin. Some would call her a ‘Google Basher.

So lets just have a look at some of the articles that came up from my search results:

And it seems like its not just me that’s picked this up, I found some other *big* fans of the ZDNet blogs:

A comment found on the ZDNet Blogs:

Nearly every article Donna Bogatin writes that mentions Google is anti-google. People read her blog because she writes headlines that sound interesting, and she keeps doing it because she gets paid per article view. I’ve seen days where she’s posted several articles of anti-google trash, just to get people to come visit. And all those articles link to one another, and don’t have a whole lot of new content.
She’s an anti-google troll. I wish, if nothing else, ZDnet would get her off of their RSS feed. I keep reading articles based on the interesting-sounding title, then realize it’s a Bogatin and regret ever coming to ZDnet. It’s ridiculous.
If she wanted to be anti-google, call it the “anti-google blog” and be up front about it…

So why doesn’t ZDNet do just that?! Thankyou Donna Bogatin – that’s feed I wont be seeing in my Google Reader any more!
