I believe that’s what you call a joke.

Quick question – why does TechCrunch even need a URL shortener? Is there a point for competing over non-dollars in this space?

Honestly people there are more serious democratic issues facing the middleeast such as Egypt, Jordan and Saudi than in Iran.

not very good. They forgot to mention all the pollution of the trending topics – and most of all the horrible washed out green avatars everyone has now

I think the Mash did it better:

And some time before the Onion. Still, I love them both equally…

Agree. This guy is leaving comments on every post.

Instead of building his brand, he’s just damaging it.

What if Tweets couldn’t be sent without also mentioning TechCrunch

It would then be Bizarro World

Uncool: you knocking a man for trying. The readers of TechCrunch are not idiots, and since we DO have the mental ability to distinguish which comments are relevant… we also have the ability to disregard them.

That being said… this article is one of the funniest things I’ve read all year. < —meaningful, normal comment.

Hey, uncool! The readers of TechCrunch are not idiots. I’ve noticed you’ve been leaving formal, meaningless comments on most of the blog posts.

You don’t actually have anything to say. Your just trying to get people to come to your site because you envy TechCrunch’s popularity.

Here’s a tip: if that is truly what you want, then at least leave meaningful, normal comments.

Thanks, have a nice day!

Hi MG,

Thanks for informing us about The Onion. Twitter definitely proved to be an amazing tool during this Iran election crisis.

Thanks.
