"It's no different" is precisely my point. I had hoped Delimiter was about being different, about finding new models for a new medium. This sounds no different to the most voyeuristic, pointless and inaccurate annual feature in BRW. Yay.
I don't think "but traditional media does it" really makes a good enough case, nor "but readers want to know". How does such a list advance the growth/maturation of the local startup industry, other than creating mostly unrealistic expectations? I remain thankful your readers are yet to demand a "Most Beautiful People in Tech Issue" ;-) - alan On Dec 2, 10:50 am, Renai LeMay <rle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Alan, > > lots of people don't like to talk about money -- in fact, I know that > when they put the BRW Rich List together, they get a stack of pushback > from the people that they're reporting on.
