I like it when TechCrunch does something like this. This is good journalism. They broke a story that most people didn't even know existed, highlighted the arrogance of one of the key players, and brought about positive change. Now I wouldn't award Arrington a Pulitzer for online journalism just yet but I would say this is a step in the right direction.<p>Too often we criticize TechCrunch (and rightly so) for what are basically attempts at gaining readership and ratings. It is good to see them actually going after the tech companies that hurt users.
Shit, Doubleshit...and Bullshit!<p>[Sorry...I had to say it, even if snark doesn't play well on HN ;-) ]<p>I'm sure she'll land a new scam job in no time with her pleasant personality and quiet professionalism.
at first i was surprised by how quickly this happened. but then i saw they've raised 20M in funding in the last 2 years. i think its obvious the VCs run the company.<p><a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/offerpal-media" rel="nofollow">http://www.crunchbase.com/company/offerpal-media</a>
she was very unprofessional and condescending towards arrington's concerns, which were completely valid. i think the correct response from a ceo should have been: "wow, thanks for bringing that to our attention, that's going to the top of my priority list after i leave this conference."
