No more so than three years ago, when I started lurking. Or two and a half years ago, when I signed up. Or however long ago when I first commented.
People are interested in what other people are doing. Techcrunch happens to be a big resource in figuring this out. Thats not necessarily a bad thing in itself.
- rblion 16y agoi like to know too. but only about the innovators and leaders, not so much the 100 me-too startups that try to make the same thing but with a different name.
- Zev 16y agoDon't underestimate the usefulness of knowing what people are interested in at the moment. Social networking and the like may be gimmicky, but, they don't become popular for no reason. // edit: A better "but, …" might be: "but, Facebook has an insane valuation for a reason: a lot of people seem to believe it can make a lot of money."
- rblion 16y agoI never said anything about social networking being 'gimmicky'. It's fills a human need for belonging. The kinds of articles that get my attention explain how successful startups work or how others failed.
