So, I recently started visiting Sarah Meyers new website/webshow/blog Pop17. I’m totally and utterely at a loss as to how I really feel about this webshow.
Here’s my dilmema:
I love the content being covered-most of the time. It’s interesting stuff I know and care about. Stuff that I’m immersed in at all times. The things that make me the dork I am. The show covers people I’m interested in. The people making, creating, maintaining and innovating in the web-o-sphere. So, it’s great to actually have a show covering stuff like this.
BUT…on the other hand, Sarah Meyers bugs the shit out of me. Opps…I just swore. Sorry. Sarah Meyers gets under my skin in a bad way. Her fake cheery, trying-to-be a tv reporter style is annoying, contrived, and takes away from the topics being covered. She makes herself look stupid. The show seems to be written by a smart individual, and dumbed down by the way Meyers sounds, and looks, like she is reading off a cue card. UGH. Not to mention the way she attempts to crack jokes and make witty comments, that are neither of those what-so-ever.
So, my problem…I like the content, I hate the execution of it….Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Ugh. Yes… so annoying.
Have you watched Morgan Webb’s show? It’s a lot better.

i agree emily, the execution borders on gimmacky/boring/infomercial… it seems to attempt, but misses, the wit of rocketboom’s infomercialesque fakery.
