And by your swiss cheese logic, everything we do these days is tech news.

It's a common fallacy that drops community quality like a rock.

It's like programming horror being flooded with things that aren't even marginally related to programming. But since technically all our technology is programmed, then it's technically programming related.

Nevermind the business aspects that exist everywhere, is it even reasonable to talk of social media, technology dedicated towards social connections, without addressing the social aspects involved?
