A camera + the Internet + puppies. Ten thousand people are watching right now.
My goal is to get people to stop emailing me this. Ok? It’s awesome. I posted. Time has all the details, if you want to know their names, etc.

Clearly it is not the internet that is awesome but it is puppies that are :p
i love pupies
cool pups
I’ll have to check it out. They are cute!
Mike, take a moment to click “Michael Arrington” below the headline and look at the summary of your recent posts. Just saying.
banned.
I suppose I’m at risk for replying to this for being banned, but please hear me out. Just something that’s been bothering me.
Personally, I have no issue with the stuff you post, Michael. I don’t think “TechCrunch is going downhill” or “puppies, wtf” or something crazy. You’re fine.
The thing that I take issue with is the heavy-handed response to criticism. Banning someone isn’t really the solution. Getting a better comment-moderation system is.
Something I really appreciate about Lawrence Lessig is he keeps a wiki page dedicated to Lessig-criticism (http://wiki.les...i-Lessig_Reader).
Furthemore, on the publishing of his most recent book, one of his most earliest blog posts was to point out criticism (http://lessig.o...the_book_1.html). I think this response is great. Instead of amplifying the criticism, it sort of redirects it, and defuses it.
Obviously there is a time and a place for criticism, and perhaps that isn’t the comments section of each story. But maybe the continual amount of criticism means two things:
1) There should be a place to discuss such things as TechCrunch’s material and TechCrunch’s journalism (not that I have anything particular to say about either)
2) There should be a better comment moderation system. Slashdot deals with the most amazing amount of trolling very easily, and they don’t delete or ban anything. I think they’ve deleted two posts total, and that was really newsworthy.
If I get banned for saying that, well, too bad.

I don´t found Michael recent posts wrong in any way… i agree this is kinda useless, but is interesting.
Not that you can answer or something.
Wow that’s freaking awesome 10 thousand people watching puppies…
10K at a time and that too consistently is too much. Folks are watching like some live concert or sport going on :P
Someone take away Mikes keyboard.
mike…wat hpnd to tablet pc project…any updates?
SHIBA INUS!!!! Sorry for the inane response but I think they are the cuttest and coolest breed in the world. And they look like only a few weeks old; they still have their black patch on their snouts. These usually go away after a month.
Are they up for adoption?!?!?
my guess is this guy eventually sells them to wealthy techies (hopefully not on ebay…that’s just not right) and donates a portion to charity…wish i had the bankroll to snag one of these if that were to happen. they are far too awesome.
As a proud parent of a 9 month old female Shiba (blonde, not the usual brown and white), I can confirm that this breed is super duper special. For a glimpse of the speed of these lightning fast and freakishly athletic dogs, here’s a short video of Sophie starting her day:

Made me feel good for a moment.
i’m addicted to them :)
Does anyone know what breed these puppies belong to?
Looks to me like those are Akita’s puppies
am i heartless? cuz i really didn’t care about this. I like puppies in real life though…
yes….yes, you are.
:-) sooo cute :-) I want one! And i will make them read TechCrunch
Are they ever NOT sleeping?
OMC!!!!!!!!! PUPPIES!!!!! =D
when I first tuned in, one was taking a big crap right in front of the camera. BUT, I am okay with that; I love puppies and that’s what they do…
