If all the blog bling providers were eaten by hungry grizzlies, the world would be a better place.
I get incensed every time I try to load a page on TechCrunch–I’m trying to read a simple article…I don’t want to have to wait for the page to render. It’s almost as bad as Windows startup.
Just today, I tried to comment on Infectious Greed, and I had to switch to browsers to do so since Intense Debate was incompatible with my main browser.
A pox on all their houses!
Love both techcrunch and mashable – and have for years — but man are you ever right! it takes them forever to load a simple blog page… I’m afraid I may be just as guilty though, I’ve got more crap on the side of my blog than can be possibly justified for anyone wanting to find a little information… the difference?
These guys are pulling $50,000 an ad apparently… I’m pulling $15.00 a month on google. gee…. Isuppose if I were making bank, I’d have even more crap taking up my page.
