The Cowards Way

A new site offers "candid" advice from co-workers and employees about performance - all anonymously, so no one can seek out retribution.

Why anyone ever listens to "anonymous" information is beyond me. I can understand in espionage circles or in journalism where sources need protection because of security issues...but other than those rare cases, "anonymous" information is useless information. It the voice of the cowardly and the petty. It if it not important enough to speak up and be told - face to face - mano to mano - it can be said to not be important at all.

To think this type of information is useful is to read the comment sections on blogs and mistake it for meaning. This new media world is a descent into pettiness. I don't approve.
