Zooomr on Uncov: Ouch.
I’ve always stayed out of Zooomr related discussions, as yes, I think it borrows to much from Flickr, and yes, I think its only success factor is some clunky “features” and the “heartwarming underdog” status of its underage, two person team — yadda yadda yadda all of which has been repeated ad nauseam elsewhere.
I’m also a regular reader of Uncov - the snarky, technically competent tech blog that offers biting reviews. Well, today Uncov took a swing at Zooomr, and I think I’m going to have to un-read, and unsubscirbe from the uncov.
There’s writing honest pithy reviews in an entertaining tone, and then there’s making a personal assualt on others. Uncov attracted me for the first, and has lost me for the second. Who cares if Kristopher is spelt with a “K,” Ted, or if Thomas Hawk is a bit of a goof (referring to the comment stream here). If you really loathe the site, tear apart its functionality and rip-offs and leave it at that. Personally, I like to read entertaining, interesting posts on technology - not character assasinations.

Whoaaa! You really showed us!
That’s the spirit Ted!
Thanks for popping by and all the best with Uncov.

Never heard of uncov, but they seem like typical internet trolls. I don’t understand how they can down on people post after post when their own site is a steaming pile of shit. To follow it, they come on here to sarcastically reply.
Message to uncov: Stop being a bunch of crybaby bitches who think you know software. Most of us are making an effort to better our lives, and you’re just talking about it.
Cheers James! The unfortunate thing about Uncov is that Ted Dziuba (the “ted” of uncov) used to post on a blog called Epsilon Delta (http://epsilondelta.net/) which actually had interesting technical articles that, while above my head, I’m sure had value for many.
Epsilon Delta was abandoned for the hate-fest that is uncov - too bad.
BTW - Akismet nabbed your comment and its been in my moderation queue for a few days - sorry about the delay!
