Guide to managing a privately owned commercial metablog for the public

I have been waiting for the editorial announcement for some time now...

Singapore blog aggregator Tomorrow.sg continues to take knocks from other bloggers, who complain about its editorial approach and integrity. Xialanxue posts a sarcastic “guide to managing a metablog” and links to several posts critiquing Tomorrow.sg’s problems. Global Voices Online

1. Publish "Quality Content".

2. Cover up your mistakes.

3. Make public promises you can't keep.

4. When confronted about it, tell everyone sarcastically that you have more important issues to address [Read: "There is nothing much we can say or do to get ourselves out of the deep hole we are in now. Even if the thirteen of us stood one on top of the shoulders of another all the way up, we won't be able to reach the light! Just mind your own business and let us carry on digging ourselves deeper will you? Maybe we will find some gold at the bottom"].

5. Censor reader-recommended articles that are of interest to the public.

6. Remove more than once relevant trackbacks from xlx [The trackback happens to showcase censorship-in-action yet again, in an entry that was sparked off by censorship in the first place, making it relevant]

7. Label the relevant trackbacks as irrelevant and use this as a convenient opportunity/excuse to censor xlx. After all wasn't xlx's exposé on the wrongdoings of a certain editor the catalyst for the metablog taking so much heat now?xialanxue.blogspot.com...
