Come to think of it, maybe freelance writers should be suing huffpo's bloggers, since they're DEvaluing writing and chipping away at their ability to make a living.

“Do you guys even CARE what I write? Does it make any difference if it’s good or bad?” I said.
“Not really,” was the reply.

Love the idea of a blog about internet startups having a badass 'fuck-you' attitude

"Ceding control to the Huffington Post will be the death of everything - the voice, the swagger, the 'fuck you' attitude - that makes TechCrunch great." Emphasis from the original (!).
except in the original it's emphasized because he's quoting someone else. either the valleywag writer didn't notice that because he didn't read the whole piece he's writing about or he's deliberately suggesting the emphasis is carr's which is a weird way of making him come off as more forceful than he actually is.

ehhhhhhh hoos i feel you but why did carr italicize (rather than use quote marks)? i think what ryans doing is well in bounds

So anyway I just recorded this Huffington Post Live chat thing with Cole Stratton, Janet Varney, Kristen Rutherford, Stephanie Escajeda and Jacob Soboroff about TV shows that should last forever, strange spinoffs and more besides. Random but cool! Will link it when it goes live.
