DISQUS

So Chris, how much will it cost me to change your mind about this?

I came up with a similar concept a few months ago except mine requires actual skill: http://guhmshoo.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/the-ul...

And now for a bit a humor in the form of a cartoon. See: http://bit.ly/17c2d And yes Morgan, this act is pure self promotion. :)

A cartoonist's take on the whole thing: http://bit.ly/10LhGY

Does anyone know how many stories TC has gotten wrong in the last year? I do remember they wrote a story last year about Twitter and ads that turned out to be wrong. Just curious.

Gordon:
"There has been more than one occasion where I have been tempted to make a snarky comment on Twitter...but haven't done so." See, you used restraint. And why did you do that? Fear of reprisal? Unjustified? Pointless?

There are no mistakes. People do things for a reason. She "tweeted" her frustration with the Post reporter knowing that he might see it (and also knowing that he might react in an explosive manner). She threw the first punch, it's as simple as that. Twitter has made it far too easy for people to say things publicly that ought to be said privately or directly to someone's face. Now we must worry that every private exchange could end up "tweeted" publicly on a platform that can't provide the proper context so needed in these cases. I've read many posts about this exchange and still don't know the back story. None of us do. They fail and we fail. If you're interested, I've posted a solution to this issue at my blog.

Let's not forget one of the greatest cartoonists ever: Gary Larson (Far Side).

Let's put this in perspective: Russia attacks Georgia and Demo Attacks TechCrunch. Hmm. Which one should people give a damn about?
