I've gotta say, that tweet does look scripted. You think he'd be a bit careful about that sort of info.

- atomical 16y agoPeople said that about the iPhone leak over at Gizmodo. A brilliant piece of PR for Apple they said. Then the police got involved...
- lachyg 16y agoI don't think the whole thing is 'planned' / scripted, I was referring to just that tweet.
- itistoday 16y agoThat seems pretty far-fetched. What on earth would he gain from intentionally posting that tweet? Mike cut them some slack by not naming any names, and now he's done just that. I'm leaning more toward the "not the brightest bulb in the valley" theory.
- lachyg 16y agoYeah, I agree after reading the email. Check this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/23/ron-conway-angel-email/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/23/ron-conway-angel-email/ to anyone that hasn't read it.
- callmeed 16y agoConsidering the way he writes, I don't know. Seems like a fast-talking, shoot-from-the hip kind of guy who could easily make that mistake. But what do I know.
- desigooner 16y agoIt's too much of a coincidence that McClure "accidently" tweeted it instead of a DM to someone. If it's that important, one'd call, text or email ... It was tweeted at the right time and deleted within minutes after being sure that it was syndicated. Brightest bulb or not, he's just trying to play the fiddle here..
- JimEngland 16y agoThe tweet was via text. Most accidental tweets come from responding to the DM text Twitter sends.
- bl4k 16y agoIt is easy for you to make ridiculous accusations or observations, because you don't have to come back here tomorrow and say 'oh, I was wrong'. Since I started following this story I have seen all manner of ridiculous commentary, regardless of the evidence presented. Each new day disproves almost every comment made from the previous day. Your accusation is cheap and is not held to the same standards that you expect from the same blogs and people that you criticize.
- lachyg 16y agoI don't think it was too ridiculous before the email was released. I was wrong, and I apologise for that. I made a comment I thought was true, and if everyone held back comments that they thought were true, from fear of being wrong, then no one would post comments at all.
- bl4k 16y agoI just realized that I replied to the wrong comment, but it sorta applied to you also :) I understand that prior to the email a lot of people still had doubt, but there were comments here still trying to string an anti-Techcrunch conspiracy together even after the email was published.
- lachyg 16y agoOh, hah. I'm definitely not trying to insinuate an anti-techcrunch conspiracy! I don't think that's the case :P
