You can be a better blogger

Really? Not "To be a good writer"? I laughed, assuming it's ironically clunky wording. The "you certainly" gives it a certain je ne sais quoi too, not to mention the missing "of".

As for the rest of the page, and the comments in this thread, I feel something may be going on that I don't understand.

The thing is, if I want to be a better writer or blogger, there's already an ocean of advice at my disposal. And now there is even more.

These bookmarking/ content discovery apps are like dump trucks of information, and I wonder who has the time to actually read this stuff. Who is asking for all of this?

This is simply not ok and goes totally against HN's mentality IMHO.

This "article" from 13 march 2013 is clearly an "answer" to the very recent new text editor for writers / proofreaders (where people can collaboratively work on the same text) that made it to the frontpage.

Please please please do not upvote this "article".

This is just a "contrarian" entry by a frustrated person trying to surf on the success of the recent new text editor for writers.

And by all means: please do try to enhance the tools we have and create new great webapps and do not pay attention to the frustrated contrarians.
