The title is sensational. He's just relinquishing editorial responsibilities and not all writing privileges so he can run a AOL-funded venture capital fund. The question is will he be able to leverage his connections and influence to perform as a capable fund manager?

It'll be interesting to see how much journalistic independence TC maintains, and how favourably his startups are covered compared to his competitors. I never got the impression that Arrington was the kind of guy to play fast and loose with ethics, but I could very well see him refraining from pulling an Arrington on his own startups, in the way he has on others. Interesting times.
