Hacker News Reader

Wow, if TechCrunch was just about startups (Everyone of them), I might actually come back to as part as my daily reading. Until they clean up their articles and focus on what matters then it is hard to justify spending time on their site.

View on HN

The thing is that they are focusing on what matters to most people and that's exactly the problem.

Are they? Seems to me that they exist to feed the trolls.

Sadly I believe you'll come to agree that the majority of mis-informed people who read a generalist tech blog like Techcrunch could be considered trolls by the normally informed people who read HN. TC does serve its purpose well - it just saddens me that the blog's purpose and mine as a reader are not aligned.

(disclaimer: I worked with techcrunch for a few years, starting in 05)
