Well, there's the fact that most people don't like Arrington. He's apparently enough of a pain that I think he would have trouble putting on as good of a conference by himself.
But the specific phrases bug me - "This is the last TechCrunch50". That sounds like a pro-wrestling setup for TC60 next year.
- staunch 17y agoMaybe not as good, but certainly as successful by most metrics (attendance/revenue/guest list). The TechCrunch site is a massive success despite Arrington's abrasiveness and so would his conference be.
- andreyf 17y agoMaybe it's a different crowd, but most people I know like Arrington, a lot. Jason Calacanis, on the other hand, is a weasel with a custom light-gray-on-white wordpress blog/mailing list (and light purple links), where each post seems more confident and wrong than the last. How he got to a position of any authority anywhere is beyond me.
