Mashable getting worse? 
Mystalic: Thanks for the comments.  I'll just add a few of my thoughts:1. If we misinterpret facts, please call us out in the comments or by emailing one of us (ben@mashable.com in my case).  We strive for accuracy, period.2. We're more than just a tech blog.  We're also a social media blog, and we're not only interested in the technologies that make social media possible, but in its effect on society in general, the good and the bad.  Social media and web technology has had such a profound impact on privacy and culture, and we're interested in covering that.3. The image you refer to is already becoming viral.  Our goal's to try to sort fact from fiction because we have a platform and an audience to do that.  We never write with the intention to harm or embarrass anyone.4. I think GVRV has it right: we do have a different, broader demographic than many other blogs.  I tend to write my articles so that everyone can understand them, not just technical or entrepreneurial minds.  I do write about programming and entrepreneurship when I can though, and love reviewing startups.
