Ask HN:At ~48 posts per day, is Techcrunch overdoing it?

5 points by Rain_maker 13y ago ↗ HN

Is AOL putting quantity over quality. Frankly I am unable to bear with the dismal signal to noise ratio nowadays on Techcrunch.

Google reader trends show i have read only 6% of the posts.

My opinion is that they are 'overdoing' it. My trending shows similar results too - at almost 8% for myself.

That's why I merely overview it for interesting posts and pick out the occasional goody.

But to me this isn't much of a concern because I get my main tech news via HN, to be honest.

quality > quantity - absolutely.

I think you are probably right however you've given only two variables - # of posts over time - and I think you need to add a third: number of writers. For example, if it's "48 posts per week by one writer", then of course you are correct. If, though, it's "48 posts per week by, on average, 42 different writers" then I don't think so.
