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
― max, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
well yeah
― 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
i like paul carr
― markers, Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
you like a tool

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.

ever.
Huffington's story appears to makes sense, and Arrington and his army are really coming off as sooks.
― Autumn Almanac (Schlafsack), Monday, 12 September 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
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
― max, Monday, 12 September 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
yeah probably
― Autumn Almanac (Schlafsack), Monday, 12 September 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
as gawkers ryan tate has documented, huffpo is rife w/ conflicts of interest http://gawker.com/5837690/
― max, Monday, 12 September 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
right but i'm saying it seems to me arrington & TC should have foreseen that the conflict would be poorly received publicly, and that if AOL was buying into such an obvious questionable scenario maybe they had diff motives than "putting money in mike arrington's pocket"
wld really like to have been a fly on proverbial wall.

xp that links to this http://www.businessinsider.com/aol-says-reporters-are-not-allowed-to-invest-in-companies-they-cover-except-michael-arrington-2011-4
It's always tricky to get an unbiased picture when press agencies' fallings-out are covered by other press agencies.

like is arrington just a bigger and more egotistical fool than i realized or

i wouldve really liked for there to be a bomb on the wall that killed all of these people
