Afternoon Extras: 8/22/06

Susan Getgood on the Gatekeeper Debate: “A bunch of white guys linking around.” A good read, and I largely agree with her point, even though I’m sure she’d say I perpetuate the problem.

Shelley Powers takes on a roomful of rowdy commenters. I really like her writing, even though I know she could punch me in the nose at any second.

Matt Craven on the echo chamber chamber chamber chamber…

Mathew Ingram on a better, funnier Digg. I always find at least one hilarious thing every time I look at Fark.

    I wouldn’t say you perpetuate the problem at all, Kent. In fact, I count you as one of the folks that is willing to engage realistically on the subject. And we have to keep talking about it. Even if sometimes it seems like we are rehashing the same stuff. I just don’t want folks to equate quality and popularity. Sometimes they go together and sometimes they don’t :-)
