In either visual, grid, or real estate; journalistic content all are subordinate to the brand-advertisement. I know you pride yourself, profession, and business on true 'reporting', Mr. Arrington, so I hope you take these comments as truly constructive feedback. Professionally (as it is my job advising on matters of this *very* nature), it is my opinion, that the site has lost the voice of that core value set upon load and experience. Myself, I do not even visit the website any longer directly in the browser. Instead; relying on RSS and Twitter links to review the content generated from TechCrunch. Have a great day, and best of luck with the upcoming year.
