Any idea on what caused it?
- dwynings 14y agoHave to wonder if it's due to a conflict of interest – Arrington may become more involved in TechCrunch now that Arianna Huffington isn't his boss. He and MG Siegler are already set to make an appearance at TechCrunch Disrupt.
- travisketchum 14y agoInteresting. I feel like the only good scoops most of the tech blogging sites now have is about internal drama and much less about awesome M&A type news.
- earbitscom 14y agoNo, it's just what they choose to write about. They get tips every day that go ignored, and then there is another post about how much they hate their employer. If they wanted to report on real news they could.
- petercooper 14y agoI don't, but two things have happened that I can see. Michael Arrington posted on TechCrunch a week ago and is helping out with a new TechCrunch event: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/04/im-back/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/04/im-back/ Today, it was announced that CrunchFund invested in rover.com: http://www.geekwire.com/2012/crunchfund-madrona-bite-doggie-care-service-rovercom/ http://www.geekwire.com/2012/crunchfund-madrona-bite-doggie-... Not saying either of these things are connected to the split but there's clash potential in them, I guess.
- dwynings 14y agoHow does his investment in rover.com have clash potential?
- petercooper 14y agoNo specific actions come to mind, but as has already been discussed with regards to investors, Pando and TC, investing in companies within your beat is tricky and open to all sorts of potential conflicts of interest, accidental or otherwise.
- philippK 14y agoArrington writes on his blog about this http://uncrunched.com/2012/04/09/about-pando/ http://uncrunched.com/2012/04/09/about-pando/ Basically, he is saying, the Pando folks were pissed because he is going to speak at the disrupt conference
