DISQUS

Lenny,

Particularly impressive, as I mentioned in the article, that they responded this quickly and in such detail at a weekend.

jjt - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/mashable/

yup, it did!

(ignore me - just seeing if comment bug went away)

@Elleinthecity these are not the eggs you are looking for ;)

@jjt sweet!

ha! (@sean)

It's dedicated (not grid), and yes, we have a bunch of mails into them right now.

That FIRST idea is sweet. Off to make my own.

Alright schroederboy, you win this round.

Hang on, Ostrow wrote this piece? Is this a Mashable mutiny?

Awesome, thanks Pete.

Yes, Pete. Yes they are.

Are comments working again?

Okies, you're not around. I went and changed the source link for you. Please be careful to track down the original source.

Paul,

Pretty sure techcrunch broke this, not SIA - please credit them.

Totally. I thought I was straight till I met that guy. ;)

Ya, I should definitely fire one of my employees so I can afford media training. But which one? ;)

Don't think I responded on that very well. For clarification, our take is: there are a handful of larger tech blogs that are worth reading everyday, and I'd rather co-operate to expand the pie than be in competition. It vexes me whenever people try to play you off against others - I keep meeting reporters who try to insert wedges like that and I have to tell them we don't play that way.

I just remembered why I hate me.

Also liked this bit "it's hard to make up stats". Not sure if that came across right. ;)

BTW: I think there were quite a lot more than 200 through the night. But I won't tell The Crescent if you won't. ;)

I love the way you wrote the followup post and not me. Did you assume I'd be too drunk to do so? ;)

oh, right, sarcasm tags get removed. try again

[END sarcasm]

The Pete Cashmore! OMFG!

Hey Mathew,

Yeah, I was speaking about this same issue with some peeps at the Crunchies (including the Techcrunch guys). The editors and I had already mailed back and forth on Friday night regarding how to include more visible attribution in the editorial guidelines, so those changes were already underway.

Basic issue is this: as team grows (4 to 5 core editors, more than a dozen writers and other staff), you need more and more written rules to cover the stuff that seems obvious to an individual blogger. See my comments on Louis' post for some other points from me.

I gotta go out for the day, but I'll mail you my cell number should you wish to chat.
