newspapers started it. magazines continued it. and here we are same same on the internet. like bran, content isnt really free and i’m actually fine with TechCrunch and blog authors and … well, the entire freakin internet supporting itself using advertising on the pages i read and even in the links of the article so i dont have to take out subscriptions for the 400 websites nearest and dearest to my heart.

if you want to start a revolution write a song about it … or if you arent so musically inclined maybe write a letter to your Alderman.

but dont forget the bran. seriously.

I can’t really understand why people hate it so much… or is it because they’re jealous of her… who knows?

I really don’t think it’s because Twitter is less scary that people who’d previously dismissed other social networking sites like Facebook now embrace Twitter and equate their digital friendships with the real world’s. Most of us have probably gotten to a stage where we could contact our friends so easily that we equate the amount of information we can share as the building blocks of our friendship. The question is, what information are we sharing? Information about what we are doing at that moment maybe goes some way in sharing who we are as persons, but not entirely. And we probably wouldn’t share our thoughts, fears, weaknesses (how do you fit all that in anyway) in a 140 character message on Twitter. Hopefully we don’t go the way of deceiving ourselves that we are “keeping in touch” with our friends when we use Twitter only, though it could be used as part of it.

Unbelievable. I see Arrington should have test run you for at least six weeks to get a better grip on just how much damage you’re capable of doing to his blog and your own reputation and done so long before he hired you.

Yeah, I know you freeelanced for him before. Big deal. Not the same thing. I would have worked you like a tractor for six weeks straight, then I would have told you “No thank you” and “go away”. Mike can ban me if he wants to for my saying so – hey, win some, lose some.

This is what you do that I find unbelievable:

1) You stir the pot with blather about Israel and the Middle East in a way that barely relates to current tech issues and/or tech industries at all

2) You cant’ write despite your extensive archive of online and offline writing; your posts are too long, wandering, and sort of “squishy” to be sharp enough to wind up on this blog

3) You obviously don’t make enough money writing books, writing for and running blogs so you put affiliate links in your TC articles, which falls somewhere between “tacky” and “obscenely desperate” on the Prideless Fool Scale

4) People call you out for your obvious inability to use the English language correctly and/or to consult a reputable online dictionary and/or Wikipedia before posting your tripe and this is what you say: “Nice try.” Who’s nice try, Sarah? How about “Your own nice try?” You’re not fooling anyone. Get over it, and find a place that fits your style better than TC does. You are a viper.

People will grow tired of reading and posting everything that no one really cares much about in the first place.
