If Huffington was indeed looking for a reason to upend TechCrunch they certainly gave her one.

After all the incredibly zealous LOOK AT OUR NEW LOGO LOOOOOK shtick a few weeks ago I didn't think the navel-gazing could possibly get any worse.

http://m.techcrunch.com/2011/09/14/and-the-winner-of-techcrunch-disrupt-is-shaker/
Three days and 31 startup pitches later, the winner of TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco 2011 has been determined. Out of the 29 startups and two audience choice winners, we whittled the list down to seven finalists, which included Bitcasa, Cake Health, Farmigo, Prism Skylabs, Shaker, TalkTo, and Trello. The winner from this group receives the Disrupt Cup and $50,000, taking over possession from Disrupt New York winner Getaround. Without further ado, the runners-up is Prism Skylabs. And the winner is…Shaker! Disclosure: TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington is an investor in Prism Skylabs and is a pending investor in Shaker.

It’s not a journalistic enterprise, TechCrunch. And so to have treated it as such is to destroy it. So now, he’s gone, and now they own this thing, which has no voice. Congratulations. What a good piece of business.

If these guys keep up the whinging they're going to lose whatever support they've still got. I won't be following Arrington to his new personal blog because I'm sick of his henchmen shitting up the internet with this crap.

carr:
What I knew last week, but can only write now, is that while Heather, Mike and other senior editorial staffers were making a stand for the site’s editorial independence from The Huffington Post, Erick cut a side deal with Huffington to guarantee him the top job once Mike was gone.

Um, oh hey guys, what’s up? Nothing much over on my side, except that I’d really like a Diet Coke. Also, I’m hearing that nascent photo sharing app née blogging platform Posterous is raising some money. So yeah that’s what’s up over here in my neck of TC HQ.Chew on this if you’re in the mood for some actual tech news; the simple blogging service and Tumblr competitor has just raised $5 million in Series B according to multiple sources. Taking part in the round will be Redpoint Ventures, newcomer Jafco Ventures and existing angels.

Man I wouldn't blame this Eric guy for trying to cut a deal to keep his job, it's gotta be hard to find a W-2 writing job.

Yeah, it sounds like 1. Arrington clashed with Huffington 2. Schonfeld stepped up because let's face it who wouldn't 3. Arrington's chums went feral for some loyalty-based reason I still can't get a grip on
