Comments on: why I unsubscribed from john chow (and why you should too) http://www.maxyRO.com/thoughts/why-i-unsubscribed-from-john-chow-and-why-you-should-too/ Internet, web 2.0, trance and me Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:24:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Donna Miller http://www.maxyRO.com/thoughts/why-i-unsubscribed-from-john-chow-and-why-you-should-too/#comment-77 Donna Miller Tue, 13 May 2008 23:45:56 +0000 http://www.maxyRO.com/thoughts/why-i-unsubscribed-from-john-chow-and-why-you-should-too/#comment-77 I visited his blog only recently and left again rather quickly, completely baffled as to why it was (supposedly) a popular problog. Now I understand, he did have valuable content once upon a time. I completely agree with you. He's certainly lost the ability to answer "What's in it for me?" from the readers perspective. I think he's heading for the slippery slope to ruin with this approach. Like Alina I wonder how long he can keep it going like this.

I still visit from time to time but pretty much have moved on. I have to agree with you that most of the content is useless, not all, but most of it. In a way it is good to do a quick review because he is doing something right, he is making more money than most bloggers are so it is good to think about what you can do for your own site. I just found your site via Stumble so glad to see a honest comment out there about John Chow. Looking forward to reading more. I unsubscribed from him a long time ago.

I never subscribed or thought I should stop by more often. Mainly because, as you said, there is no value in there for me, no really great tips I haven't heard of, no unique approach, no fun, no nothing. I am curious how long he can keep it going like this.
