Also the truth: AOL has not reached out to me once in this entire situation. You’d think they might care about something like that. Evidently, they don’t. I’m not losing any sleep over it, but it’s curious.

There is exactly one person to blame for all of this — and her name is not Erick.

Apparently my former colleague and fellow Diet Coke fiend Paul Carr is founding a startup post-TechCrunch, instead of heading back to professional blog jockeying like the rest of us pixel-stained wretches. Yay Paul.

So what on earth is it already? Well Carr himself told me that the startup is a media-play, traversing the intersection between old media and new media — “the third way,” as he puts it. Okay.

Public executions of leaders tend to have a severe chilling effect on whoever takes over, and Arianna Huffington is, without a doubt, the current editor in chief of TechCrunch.

That was the genesis behind my question earlier, I just don't get it. I see there are some interesting ideas out there, but this just looks like San Francisco 1999 on a much smaller scale - instead of IPOs it's seed money.

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.
