It was when we began to get bombarded with the advice of so-called experts advising on how to title a blog post with the only purpose of inducing people to click it, bookmark it and all that, and so we ended with these symptoms.

Books... yeah they are cool but not practical for programming - I don't feel like copying and pasting pieces of code anymore :D @humphrey: yeah I added your account to my delicious network - I'll send you a link one day ;) @blackpawn: glad it wasn't just me who had that impression :D But you didn't experience the USA Ads experience, which is what I get when seeing ads of north-american companies, marketed to north-american customers only. Seems that they don't use any IP2Country script - it would be more profitable for them (if I clicked on the banners, of course). @jon: obviously going to the official site is the best idea, but sometimes with very new topics (for example with ruby on rails) there’s quite a lot of information scattered in blogs, etc, and not in the official site (unless you feel like browsing the usual wiki).

In my small experience I use to tag every information on the internet as crap and then I try to find the root of that information. In programing languages, I use to go to the "official" site, but with every other theme, I prefer libraries. Everything is in the books, says and old saying.
