The last showstopping CES product was the Palm Pre, announced in 2009. It was first phone that looked like it might touch the iPhone in its greatness. Even then it was remarked by more than a few reporters at the show that it saved CES. Palm is dead now.

Matt Buchanan, explaining why BuzzFeed bailed on CES this year. Smart move.

The BuzzFeed Doctrine

After reading this, I must say that I have a lot of respect for not only what BuzzFeed is going after, but how they’re going about it. My favorite part is about respecting the readers. It’s amazing how many sites/publications fail to adhere to this simple and crucial principle.

To that end, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti:

First of all, we don’t publish slideshows. Instead we publish scrollable lists so readers don’t have to click a million times and can easily scroll through a post. The primary reason to publish slideshows, as far as I can tell, is to juice page views and banner ad impressions.  Slideshows are super annoying and lists are awesome so we do lists!
