I don't read either as much as I used to, and I'll explain why quickly.
Mashable for me is often filled with very Fisher-Price-like news, as if it's written for an eighth grade reading level. Not to rag on him specifically, but I think Ben Parr's level of insight is negligible and just downright boring.
Techcrunch used to be more of interest to me because they covered, ya know, startups. I've said it before, and I have no data on the amount of stories about fresh startups, but it seems they have trailed off significantly in the last year.

- jimboyoungblood 17y agoYour writing is perfectly fine for Mashable, which has a totally different audience than HN. It's like a Variety subscriber complaining about Us Weekly's coverage of the entertainment industry.
- rscott 17y agoSounds good. I'll be happy to take a second look to go along with your new pic on the site, the old one was definitely getting stale. Props.
