Silly girl! Marketeers stop hyping. Bloggers stop blogging. Troll stop tolling. No more misleading stories driving up eyeballs. Everybody sitting back and being thoughtful? A century ago William Randolph Hearst sold us a war. I dont think anything has changed.

TechCrunch need a new copy editor.<p>From run-on sentences to misplaced prepositions, this piece has it all:<p><i>_But_ it’s not all kumbaya here. _And_ one of the most destructive things about Silicon Valley is the hype cycle. _And_ judging by the fact that some bloggers pronounced Twitter “done” the same week the company was featured on Oprah, it’s clear that hype cycle has spun ludicrously out of control.</i><p><i>I’m sure you’ve seen the graphs. If not, it’s to the left.</i><p><i>It starts to attain huge growth and buzz.</i> &#62;&#62; urgh, loose English ftl!<p><i>He was built up as the young, shoe-less God of the Internet that the press brutally tore him down once the crash changed the viability of his second company, Loudcloud’s, business.</i> &#62;&#62; my eyes!<p>Unfortunately (and I'm not trying to be harsh), it seems to me that the thinking behind this article is as loose as the writing.
