Not to mention that Dan continues to attack his competitors from behind the Forbes backed FSJ mask. Witness his recent withering attack on tiny news site silicon alley insider. The man is a remorseless hypocrite, and his blog is a safe place from which to carry on his petty personal vendettas.

Google for “Dan Lyons+Linux” and feel the love.

The whole point of FSJ is making fun of not only tech insiders but also bloggers. Because it happened to be funny and attracted a huge following doesn’t make what he said in that article any less true. I’m sure he feels the same.

And I don’t think the editor of Forbes needs ‘fame’ or a ‘book deal’. The book is just supplying a demand.

Duncan has become the guy everyone likes to bag. It is as of it is part of the “things to do list”:
milk? Check
took the trash out? check
dishes? check
bash duncan? check
k, done

I agree this is overdue, as far as Lyons is concerned, and that he is proving/proved this with FSJ.

Please engage duncan on the facts of the posts not some bs, without supporting arguments.

I learn a whole lot here from posts and comments, even when the original post is less than stellar. Constructive criticism has meaning.

I think it is obvious I struck a nerve. Can everyone be wrong and you be 100% wcorrect. I also thought you were above name calling. When someone gets the best of you, is that all you can offer?

There are several people who find your ‘ opinions’ to be offensive or way out in left field. You do like to have people read your post don’t you? If you want to continue having some sort of impact, just remember when keep score, readers always win. Dom 1 Duncan 0

OMG….Mike is the worst in taking criticism and frequently deletes posts that he does not like, calling them “spam” Mike has also said time and time again that he writes what he likes and does not care what people think. His posts covering justintv’s fiasco with EMT personnel and his attack on Sprint are examples that this blog’s purpose is often to provide a soapbox for Mike. Kind of sounds like Daniel’s article in Forbes could have been written about this blog!

Mike has great connections and understands the technology space very well. I just wish he would keep his ego in check and understand that techcrunch is no longer his personal blog.

This sort of bullying approach has always been the poorest way to make a point; it’s more useful as a tool to help polarize people of two opposing opinions.

tldr: grow up.

Furthermore, by parody-blogging, Mr. Lyons isn’t exactly embracing the blogging world: he’s making fun of it, while cashing in at the same time. Genius…

I hadn’t heard about this and maybe it undermines Fake blogs and maybe it doesn’t but I don’t care. I just love watching the journalists capitulate.

Every human may not eventually have a blog but every journalist certainly will.

Why? Cause management will mandate it.

As for me I’m amazed at how FSJ was right in the quoted articles, his description of blogs *is* still accurate and good.
Duncan, may be you just lack taking a look outside of the tech world for a broader view of how much blog can be bad or armful.

You write well. But the thing is, most of your posts (probably 80%) is not what the techcrunch crowd is keen on. Except if you were hired to change techcrunch’s writing style. If this does change, the rss feed will drop in the next 6 months.

On the flip side, why dont you start a blog where you will be writing your Gossip and sensational posts. I am sure there is a market out there for this.

I suggest to add categories like:Breaking News,Gossips,Analysis of Existing Stuff etc so that expectations are set properly and posts reach only the intended audience.
