So you wrote a blog post titled "You made your site in 5 hours - nobody cares".

Nobody should care.

I was doing my usual reading this morning and I started to recognize a pattern. Not just this morning, but a pattern that has been occurring over the last year or more.

It goes like this:

  * Blogger sees a link to some app on [Reddit,Digg,Hacker News]
  * Blogger thinks the app is stupid and insignificant
  * Blogger takes the time to write a rant about it

I understand why this happens. I have done it myself. Bloggers do this because there are posts out there that have been made in just minutes or hours that turned out to generate a huge number of page views. The allure is tremendous.

Here is the part that gets me: There are so many bigger problems out there to blog about.
