The TechCrunch crew has a long history of "calling out" major companies on their product decisions, in the absence of any of the data or context in which such complex decisions are made.
P.S. I love how Tom has turned into the elder statesman of social networks.
- commnderkeen08 15y agoNot to mention MG Siegler's long history of calling out Google. Always skeptical. But totally loving the elder statesman analogy. Best part about Tom"s reply is his own humility--Myspace having "decent" technology.
- rhizome 15y agoNot to mention MG Siegler's long history of self-promotion.

- rhizome 15y agoI have never seen any story like "ROBIN WAUTERS WONDERS WHY ROBIN WAUTERS ISN'T IN THE HEADLINES," like you see multiple times per week with MG...on HN. Is he the most gossipy person there, now? This is usually the kind of drama you see with Perez Hilton type personalities.
- tincholio 15y agoWell, we had those with Arrington, but fortunately he seems to have "vanished" from the HN mind...
- rhizome 15y agoThat's a good point: MG might just be bored because he doesn't have enough interesting work to do, so he's going to stink up the place until people give him work/money/cocktail-weenies.
- Cl4rity 15y agoWhat I loved most was Tom's handling of putting out MG's little fire: "You are a loveable renegade. :-)" and also "clearing not roaming the badlands." MG does come off as trying a little too hard to sound tough/badass on Twitter and elsewhere.
- evilmushroom 15y agoMG Siegler is like the Fox News of TechCrunch on top of that.
- doktrin 15y agoFrankly, I've grown increasingly disinterested in anything TechCrunch(ers) have to say. Siegler's pieces in particular remind me of partisan political editorials.
