You decide - Bill Thompson's latest blog entry appears on the BBC Technology News website.
Basically it's a rant about Bob Geldof, using the media hype surrounding the eBay + live8 ticket touts issue.
Whilst many have commented on the outspoken nature of Sir Bob, and I myself think he is taking things a little too far, to have this listed on the Technology part of the site strikes me as a bit odd... there are plenty more decent journalistically balanced articles surrounding this issue. The only reason I can think that this appeared on the Tech website is because Bill's blog often appears there no matter what it is about.
You know what Bill? In your eyes it may be "sanctimonious preaching" by Sir Bob - but show a little respect, he has certainly raised awareness in the events by constantly being in the media for his outspoken nature! (eBay, Maritime Commission, Edinburgh Council, etc, etc) Good on him for using/abusing the media - of which you are part. Why not do an article on how technology helps Oxfam, or some other charity? Bob's clearly had enough publicity.
