<i>sigh</i> There were some interesting points in this discussion initially. Now it's just mudslinging and crap. Just let it go when it gets to this level folks.<p>As a side note...does anyone else somewhat suspect that TechCrunch wrote the whole "RSS has been killed by Twitter/Facebook" specifically to provoke this kind of reaction? Considering they're basically a tabloid, it wouldn't surprise me. As Siegler said in this post, these lame fights are a major part of TC.
It seems to me every other article I see at TC these days is the blogger equivalent of the local TV news pointing the camera at the newspaper article that broke the story.<p>"I was justing mindlessly browsing quora for three hours and now I'm going to summarize whatever some insider posted..."<p>"We just wasted a bunch of time on twitter, check out the screenshots..."<p>A few years ago when people were talking about the dark future of journalism this is what they meant.
> <i>Everyone knows tech crunch is dead as dead can be. Killed. Dead. Dead. Pushing up the daisies. A former blog. Dead.dead. Sad.</i><p>Those guys aren't Monty Python, that's for sure.
