To me that says these "beat reporters" and "Tech reporters" aren't really paying attention to the new media. After coming to GigaOm through links on other sites (and noticing the quality of the articles), I checked Om's background, then added the RSS (i.e. my list of credible news sources). Reading the content and knowing the background should signal to anyone that the site is credible.</p> <p>While it's a well deserved compliment to Om & da crew, it's a collective, back-handed slap to web journalism.</p> <p>IMHO, FWIW.</p> 45%???

While it’s a well deserved compliment to Om & da crew, it’s a collective, back-handed slap to web journalism.

IMHO, FWIW.

I always believed in the stuff what you guys had to say. Though I read other blogs (I write my own too), when it comes to credible insights, I always turn back to gigaom. Wish you guys cover more startup news and insights on the market trend. How about coming up with a separate section for startups news, trends, market analysis etc.</p> <p>All that said, i wouldn’t be surprised if GigaOm is acquired by some big media company. Wish this happens.You guys deserve it.</p> <p>Cheers, Omfut</p> Hi Om et al: Congratulations! I always believed in the stuff what you guys had to say.

I think that your journalistic background helped in this as you are a little more careful about publishing stories than "attorney turned bloggers" :) (I love techcrunch also). But for me the fact that you are from a journalistic background makes your stories more researched and more genuine. You also seem to have specialists like Liz at Newteevee and Stacey at GigaOM writing on their subjects. 1 person writing on different subjects make it a little less genuine</p> Hi Om

I want news, not fluff or irrelevant posts. Sure, it may be funny and popular, but it fails.</p> Well, after Gizmodo’s stunt at CES and shutting off monitors during presentations, people are looking less and less at bloggers as serious journalists.
