So TechCrunch behaved like jackasses and showed stuff Twitter didn't want to have shown, while according to your theory using Twitter as a way to make money, and that's okay?
It's called biting the hand that feeds you, and it's an old old saying. If TC still hasn't figured out it's a bad idea, nuts to them.
- doug_m 17y agoI'm probably slightly playing devils advocate but I don't mean to be controversial for the sake of it, I just think this is interesting. TC is media/journalism and even if that's at a tabloid level personally I do believe that companies shouldn't withdraw privileges or sanction a media company based on unfavorable stories being written about them. I think its a bad precedent to set even on this minor scale.
- unalone 17y agoBut TechCrunch is wholly unprofessional. They have no standards. You can't have morals when you're dealing with amoral people. Say what you will about Mashable—and I could say tons—they generally play the game earnestly and fairly. While I don't hate TechCrunch and enjoy a few of their articles, it's a scum site with scum standards.
