So, how long before TC loses all its original headline writers? Surely the growing number of leavers must massively decrease the value of the site...

  Nobody is bound for life in a position. People eventually move on, so did Jason.

    Wasn't TC sold to AOL near the end of 2010? I can't remember the date, but I recall it being somewhere around then.

      It was announced at the end of September in 2010 during TechCrunch Disrupt (http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/28/tim-armstrong-we-got-techcrunch/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/28/tim-armstrong-we-got-techcr...). Arrington left a year later in September 2011, followed by MG Siegler, Paul Carr, Heather Harde, Sarah Lacy, Robin Wauters, (others?), and now Jason Kincaid.

  This is exactly why I don't think we'll see any media companies like Mashable being bought anytime soon. Writers can move on too easily. Why would you invest in something with so little retainable value?

    Well, that's the very definition of a talent acquisition, isn't it? Software developers can move on just as easily.
