		<description>Yeah, cause I totally think dating when I come to TechCrunch... I have to say I myself don't totally get the complaints. I really only follow TechCrunch, not the rest of the blogs, and I still have a hard time keeping up, you all write so many posts. And they're pretty varied, even if some topics do get a lot of different articles. So...why is that bad? And frankly, I have no idea why you shouldn't be allowed to promote your own event either.</description>

		<description>OK, that celebrity site is utter crap, but he does have a point.

TC is increasingly irrelevant to both the mainstream and the tech media.</description>

But does his mistress look like Kim Basinger?</description>

		<description>Why did you have to ruin it for me?  Last month, I dated Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Silverstone, the chick who plays Ugly Betty, Jennifer Aniston, and Jennifer Gardner.  Now that you publicized the site, I've got too much competition.  The only response I received recently was from Mindy Cohn (Natalie on The Facts of Life).  Thanks again Arrington for ruining my life!</description>

		<description>The sneaked in plug is lame... but he is right.  The "19 year old" kid company idea is dying.  So many of the  business models have those question marks in them followed by "profit!".  (surely even facebook when it started, and even now to some degree)

If they get lucky and get popular, they'll think they are programming and business gurus. If they're like the countless others and make a nice (infinitely copyable) site that no one goes to, they'll just go back to school.

Regardless, techcrunch should start some tags like YASS  (yet another shopping site) or YAIS (yet another invite site)....</description>

		<description>My buddy wrote iZillow and the framework behind it called Safire. It has no VC and yet TC has mentioned it several times. Because it's USEFUL.... so yes they do mention stuff without funding. 

Just because you think it's useful doesn't mean the rest of the world does. 

There is no point to your site and this celebrity dating service looks like a total scam. THAT is why Michael doesn't write about it.</description>

		<description>I love TechCrunch because it isn't considered "mainstream" (even though it is hugely popular). I've stopped paying attention to "mainstream" stories because I love reading about Google Chrome 50 times a day! Keep it up TechCrunch!</description>

		<description>I agree even if his website sucks, the General journalism around Tech Crunch apart from what is deemed cool to a select few is terrible.

Prime example of this is when Michael posted a story about not being able to get a ride on the Google Jet back from Davos, was more of a personal Gripe than any kind of relevant story.

Proves that beyond the Internet Tech Crunch is nothing more than a poor sucessfull blog at best, a gravy train at best.


Needs proper Journalist that have actually been trained in journalism rather than self claimed on the back of something that is flawed in the " real world "</description>

		<description>Here's more than one line (Edited from comments on page 2)...

OK. Here’s a real news scoop. If I was a journalist, this is what I would have found:

John S. is John Surowy. He and Michael Stevens are partners in something called Danger Productions. This domain is owned by Danger Productions. Let’s look at their other accomplishments.

In 2003 it was Hollywood’s Calling.com. Listen to this “all that’s required is your credit-card number or electronic check in the amount of $19.95, and within seven days you can expect to hear from one bona fide, if slightly faded, celebrity wishing you Happy Halloween, get well soon, or congratulations on your retirement. The 15-second phone call works out to a little more than a dollar a second, which is, if you think about it, a small price to pay for the privilege of knowing that, for example, hunky Lorenzo Lamas is incredibly excited that you’re turning 40. … Hollywood Is Calling has the look of a Web site designed in 1996, with lots of text, poor punctuation and few graphics. Scrolling down the list of 23 celebrities is like viewing a lineup for VH1’s “Where Are They Now?” Many of the photographs are decades old. A few look more like Polaroids than professional head shots. Beneath each picture are the words PLACE YOUR ORDER.” SOUND FAMILIAR???

He also ran talktoamillionaire.com in 2000 $250 for a 15 min conversation with a celebrity.

GangsterCourt (dot) com. In 2002, they were pitching a TV show where ex-criminals are the judges.

In 2001, they attempted to pitch a show called Danger Island” in which ex-offenders on a desert island would have had to complete tasks while evading “hunters” drawn from the ranks of police forces, intelligence agencies and the military.

Oh and let’s not forget about is “best-selling book,” “Gangsternomics.” Are you kidding me? And DVD, “Job Wars” Now interestingly, they were both given 5 stars on Amazon by “David Stevens.” I am sure he is no relation to Michael Stevens.

These two guys are persistant, I’ll give you that!!

By the way, this schmuck listed himself on the popup list of celebrities that you are supposed to choose from as who you closely resemble!!! HAHAHA
