that's pretty lazily written

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:12 (fourteen years ago)

how do you mean

― max, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:12 (fourteen years ago)

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 (fourteen years ago)

"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.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:16 (fourteen years ago)

paul carr is such a tool

― max, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:16 (fourteen years ago)

well yeah

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:17 (fourteen years ago)

techcrunch is a garden shed of tools

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:17 (fourteen years ago)

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 (fourteen years ago)

i like paul carr

― markers, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:20 (fourteen years ago)

you like a tool

― max, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:22 (fourteen years ago)

he wants 'bringing nothing to the party' to be 'a moveable feast' but its just a more polished tucker max bit imo

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/12/arrington-is-out-at-aol-and-techcrunch/

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.
