Damn Arrington, you really did your homework on that one - best work you’ve done in I don’t know how long!

 

So Twitter is obviously something very important to you Michael.

 

Twitter died, or what?

 

I think a little of column A and a little of column B

 

One of the best article I’ve read on TC. I mean WOW.

 

Just like that, huh? Twitter!!!

 
 

Probably hit the publish button instead of save by mistake.

 

@Loren - You’re creeping me out dude. But perhaps the best video comment yet.

 

if this isn’t a mistake, it’s awesome. on so many levels.

 

Insightful!
I Furled it.

 
 
 

Let’s discuss on FriendFeed.

 

haha this is awesome.. its like just annoying someone for the hell of it :)

so i second you Micheal ..

TWITTER!!!!!

 
 
 

Very thoughtful video comment. Haha.

 

BEST WORK YET !

AMAZING . IT WAS A FUN READ AND FULL OF IMPORTANT DATA .

**** THANKS ****

 

If twitter is the answer, what is the question?

 
 
 

Couldn’t have said it better myself, especially after the last few days.

 

under 140 characters - excellent work!

 
 

Oh ! One more thing .

JUST SAY NO !

 

Ross, Twitter is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. It is the question, and the answer.

 

That’s what I been sayin’

 
 
 

As so best said by Hugh MacLeod (Gaping Void), ” Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter!”

 

This post contains more content than Steve Gillmor’s entire oeuvre.

 

haven’t checked you video (or any of the others) due to bandwidth restrictions, so you may have covered what I’m about say.

I came direct from a twitter client because I saw http://twitter.com/TechCrunch/statuses/819865526 - Did I choose to come here because it was a @TechCrunch tweet or because it was about Twitter ?

It’s an interesting experiement. I wouild be curious about what it tells you about us :) the echo chamber and all that ??

 
 
 

So funny. Thanks for the laugh everyone.

 
 
 

Is it just me? what?

 
 

Alex, I’ll take companies that people love to hate for 400

 

Mike,

Thought provoking.

However although your lengthy explanation of the diagnostic of the social web the folksonomy of convergent technologies like Brightkite and Facebook, and the long tail of API usage…

When do we use FriendFeed?

 
 
 
 

I cried…

 
 
 

shouldn’t it be, “This IS TWITTER!!!!!!”

 
 
 

I am stumbling this…

 
 
 
 

i hate Twitter - and everybody’s petty life updates.

 
 

Michael,

It is obviously time for an intervention. Mark, disable his Twitter account.

 
 

i’m so sick of twitter.

 

Michael Arrington, there’s something I would like you to cover: z-portal.uni.cc

 

I almost spilled my water!!!!! Excellent post!

 
 

@62

Drew, stop eating and sitting down…you’re getting fat.

Maybe Twitter could hire some JPL guys. Those doods just landed a freakin robot on another planet. I bet they could keep a website running.

 

You stitch these video comments together, and it’s a Bergman’s movie. Brilliant.

 

Let’s all follow Arrington’s example and post blank stuff on our blogs.

Now I don’t feel so bad about being bored all day enough to watch all the Netflix DVDs that have accumulated this week. It actually seems I have accomplished something, now.

Isn’t holiday slow news awesome!

 

Where the hell the article is? It is totally empty.

 

I have a great search engine startup that I would love to see covered in TechCrunch. How can I get ahold of one of you editors?

 
 

Maybe if there were more articles like this on TC I’d visit more often.

 
 
 

#60: I’m Impressed with the number of Seesmic comments this has generated.

Speaking of Seesmic…

I’ll trade a Zivity invite for a Seesmic one. ;) lieumorrison@gmail.com

(Wow, this is the first time it actually seems appropriate make such an anyoying solicitation in the comments of a TechCrunch post.)

 

Is this an experiment in how much money you can make by not writing articles?

If so, tip of the hat to you good sir.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Click my name.

 

From now on, Techcrunch will stick to titles only and let the readers “imagine” what Michael Arrington might have wrote.

Next post, “MySpace”…

3rd post, “Facebook”…

A new way of blogging has just been invented…

 

on my way to dinner.

 

Congrats to Twitter! Congrats to the Mars Phoenix, Congrats to USA! :-D

Phoenix

All quiet on the Western front…

 

This may possibly be the best post & comment thread on TechCrunch ever.

 

Why does it seem that this empty post will be the most powerful voicing of twitter discontent?

 
 
 

YEah, probably too much ecstacy or something…
