Thanks for the link. It inspired me to add to my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 techcrunch.com www.techcrunch.com
I can't remember the last time I read something useful or interesting from that site, but if others get good PR, freelance work, or gain some insight, then good for them.
OT: Wow. That's such a great way to avoid website links you don't want to visit. I never thought of that! Thanks!
It does seem to prove that blogspam links are not limited to blogs.
