Let be begin by highlighting the irony in a Google search for John Chow. The second result is his post about the internet’s biggset Google whores. In the past month or two, I’d say John himself has gone a long way to climb that ladder. Most of his posts have at least one or two egotistical “I make more money than you” posts, and he is competing hard with MySpace for the number of ads per square inch of screen space, but you know what? I have a very high admiration for him.
The self-proclaimed “Dot Com Mogul” offers some very good information with a great posting frequency. He’s often giving away freebies, and masterfully creating buzz. I have about 50 RSS feeds in my Google Reader, but there are only a few blogs that I usually read the entire post, word-for-word, everytime a new one pops up… and John Chow is one of those. Which reminds me of another point, John Chow is one of the webmasters who offers a full RSS feed, another great plus. Now, thinking about what I don’t like about John’s blog, I can only come up with one thing. These recent paid reviews make him money, sure, however I wish he’d lessen them a bit. By doing so many dedicated-post reviews, I think it degrades the overall quality of the blog a bit. Aside from that though… keep up the good work John!

Hello Harry,
I must say, I have to agree with you. John Chow is an admirable blogger, and his popularity is contageous. I regularly visit his blog. I don’t mind the egotism. Most of the time it’s humorous.
Whe It comes to advertising, I tend to read those also, but not nearly as much as blogg entries.

Jose,
I’m the same way with the advertising. I tend to read anything he posts, however when there’s more than one or two advertising posts in a row, it starts to get tedious.

That’s understandable, Harry. I think there should be a balance between entries and advertising. Having to step over advertising just to read what a blogger has to say could becom an anoyance.

Is this a paid review? Just checking because I do not want people who do paid reviews on my blogroll.
