Love the idea of a blog about internet startups having a badass 'fuck-you' attitude
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
"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.

paul carr is such a tool

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
techcrunch is a garden shed of tools
ehhhhhhh hoos i feel you but why did carr italicize (rather than use quote marks)? i think what ryans doing is well in bounds
― max, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link

But some of TechCrunch’s writers and editors are considering leaving AOL and TechCrunch to start a rival blog, according to a person briefed on the developments who was not authorized to speak publicly.

ever.
Huffington's story appears to makes sense, and Arrington and his army are really coming off as sooks.

i'm still trying to figure out how the apparent conflict of interest didn't occur to anybody until after they announced crunchfund
like
who the fuck are you purported businesspeople
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 12 September 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
heh, im sure it occurred to "them"! they dont care; they just want crunchfunds money!
the conflict-of-interest thing was just arianna huffington seeing an opportunity to dump arrington
