It's interesting that this write up is not as negative as it could be. For a phone service some of the failures he mentions are pretty bad. Is Arrington pulling punches because he's already been positive? Arrington claims people expecting G

"You should never plan on being acquired. Remember that getting bought for $1.65B (or even $5M) just isn't likely for 99.9% of web apps. Profitability should be your #1 goal." A variation of this comes up all the time, and I would claim tha

Seriously. I am getting close to writing a greasemonkey script or editing my hosts file before this becomes a problem. Maybe you should worry that by funding justin.tv you've bankrupted future applicants of all their time.
