I Remember When John Chow.com Was Good and Pluto Was a Planet
In General | 4 comments | permalink
I have gone and done it… I have finally created a Facebook account. I am not proud of this, but it was something that people have been pestering me to do all through 2007.
So to celebrate I decided to create a group of my very own. I wanted something with some nostalgia, so I created the: “I Remember When JohnChow.com Was Good” Facebook Group.
Here is the group description:
“Are you old enough to remember when Pluto was a planet and JohnChow.com was not filled with spammy ads and reviews of restaurants/cars?
If you think JohnChow.com has gone rapidly down hill, and miss the days when it was worth reading(ish), then this group is for you.”
We are now open to new members, so if you feel that John Chow has gone downhill and seems nothing more than spammy paid reviews, adverts, photos of cars and restaurant reviews, then join my little group, and perhaps the A-Listers will realise that we are not quite as gullible as they had hoped.
Be careful though, here is John Chow with a huge knife… arrggghhh, run for the hills, save yourselves.

PS: Don’t forget to join: John Chow Facebook Group

Totaly agree with you here Deano! Down with the Chow!
Give us some value!
Steve,
Thanks for the comment.
Yes, some value would be nice. But as long as people are visiting the site despite the lack of quality content, he will keep milking them dry.
God knows why, it is not like he needs the cash…. does he?
We used to love the chow… now that his subscriber base is higher than ever, I think it’s that he is mainstream. so the old timers (like us) rightfully so think his site is boring and spammy now. The funny thing is that NEW readers love his site.
In a nutshell — maintstram = crap.
Hahahahaha…but many people still go to John Chow’s site, hehehehehe.
I guess I haven’t been online early enough to catch JC when he was good.
