This must be crazy - CEO, COO, Director of Product for a fucking Wordpress blog? are you kidding me?? Techcrunch at the end of the day is a Wordpress blog. It could be justified atleast if they were covering international news, but they are focused mostly on Start-up stuff (that too only the big guys) and mos, if not just Apple.
>Because straight up paying for downloads, or traffic, to a blog is insidious
Yeah right, biased, manipulative, colored, Apple-sponsored journalism isn't insidious, but paying for traffic is. Stop acting so surprised TC.
- pretoriusB 14y ago>Techcrunch at the end of the day is a Wordpress blog. Yes, you know, like Whitehouse.gov is just a Wordpress blog at the end of the day. What do they need a president and a country for? The thing is, the blogging technology doesn't matter. And the fact that it's a blog doesn't matter much either -- as blogs can make from $0 to hundreds of millions of dollars annually. >Yeah right, biased, manipulative, colored, Apple-sponsored journalism isn't insidious, but paying for traffic is. Never like TC, but ..."Apple-sponsored"? TC? Of all tech outlets out there? (That said, I doubt even one blog or news site is indeed "Apple-sponsored", including Daring Fireball. And if the US had proper anti-defamation laws, people would have found that out in a painful way).
- nowarninglabel 14y agoWhitehouse.gov runs on Drupal, not Wordpress.
- pretoriusB 14y agoThe argument remains though...
- aaronbrethorst 14y agoThe technology is irrelevant. It's what you do with it that matters.
