Have you noticed that the news you read today from tech news sites reads a lot like what you read yesterday? And the day before? And the week before that?

I’m tired of the same old tech news. Aren’t you? You visit a top-recommended tech-related website to find that 50% or more of their content is link bait. Seriously, Gizmodo? Mashable? I expect more from the tech aficianados. For one thing, they are on the bleeding edge of technology and claim to know how gadgets ought to be used. Why aren’t they providing tech expert insights into practical workflows utilizing gadgets? Why are they dribling on about the abstracts of using social networking platforms without offering first hand accounts of tech on the field?

Stop announcing new gadgets and use them. Then, give a real report about them.

I want to see demo videos and photo galleries of their experts using products the way they say they ought to be run so that users, like myself, understand how to optimize our tools. We shouldn’t be as lost about the topic after reading an article as we were when we started. We’re a visual generation. Illustrate the tech story, opinion, or observations with some hands-on videos or photos.

It’s not just Gizmodo or Mashable at fault here. Honestly, I like some of their content. But they also consistently disappoint. Links that are worthy to be reshared are one thing, but link bait is another. Tech websites are becoming a disgrace for the tech/geek community.
