For a long time now I have been reading the web 2.0 news blog, Mashable. After reading Mashable for so long I have come to know the writers and their individual writing styles, but I have never understood why they are classed as “new media experts”, and what they might or might not have done before Mashable.

Founder/Co-Editor - Pete Cashmore: Pete calls himself a “new media expert”, but it is very difficult to work out what he actually has done in his career, except start Mashable. Nowhere on the web can i find a good profile of Pete or even more information, so if your reading this Pete please get in touch for a real interview!

Co-Editor - Adam Ostrow: Adam writes his own blog over at AdamOstrow.com. He has just become official editor of Mashable a few days ago. Adam seems to be the only Mashable staff member with some actual web startup experience. He has co-founded 2 startups, Mindsay and Qwizzy.

Lead Writer - Kristen Nicole: Kristen seems to write about 20 articles a day for Mashable. Im sure she wrote her own blog before this, but I cant find the link.

Writer - Stan Schroeder: Stan seems to have disappeared from the regular Mashable writing team. I have noticed he has been posting a few articles on his regular blog FranticIndustries, but Mashable hasn’t been on his radar.

Writer - Andy Angelos: Andy seems to be the new writer on the block. He has his own blog at AndyAngelos.com. Andy has a good deal of experience, he has worked with projects such as; VentureMidwest, Venture Capital Conferences and Inventables.

Compared to the other web 2.0 news sites out there, the Mashable team is quite inexperienced with actual startups and companies with relevance to their own interests. They just cant compare to Calacanis, Arrington and Scoble, who has just so much work experience. Arrington has an amazing team around his and Read/Write Web has started to grow their team also with very creditable staff, so Mashable it is very hard for anyone to take you seriously especially when you lack experience and credibility.
