John Biggs, in a great post at TechCrunch about how they approached their CES 2013 coverage:

But when you take a step back and look at CES from an innovation standpoint, and with the expectation that the big money here makes the most noise but the small guys here make the most sense, then you’ve got a different show. There’s some really cool stuff here. We tried to celebrate that.

Go give it a read.

It’s a great idea, and I hope it yields some useful results.

John Biggs, writing at TechCrunch:

In the end, the real reviews are the ones that percolate up out of the forums and blogosphere.

That’s absolutely true in my experience. Reviews by 20-/30-/40-somethings blogging from their basement or posting on their favorite forum are almost always more useful to me than the popular reviews. I still read the latter, but I rely far more on the former.
