What a window into the dark, hypocritical heart of corrupt scoop-for-warm-coverage journalism. We have "Death to the Embargo" TechCrunch lamenting that someone else's 'careless' writing ruined their chance to spend a few leisurely days stewing on the details (and working off hangovers), but still have their share of an embargo-synchronized launch. We have the corrosive quid-pro-quo of "we'll now only report if you can give us an extra new manufactured hook", as if "We all love the service, love what these guys are doing" wasn't enough, and the writer has no unique perspective to offer on a still spanking-new service. We have the launch of a "really cool" startup that, simply because of a little other coverage, no longer rates for any straight-up coverage -- but is still great fodder for a meta, naval-gazing pride-stroking inside-journalism lament. We have the hyperbolic assessment that the launch was 'ruined' when in fact, for the startup the "big problem it faces right now is that it just can’t keep up with demand". Will anyone remember this TC-vs-GigaOm pissing-match sideshow by next Tuesday, when the launch news was 'officially' supposed to hit, and when traditional media sources outside the TC bubble pick up the story?
