So Techcrunch used Fake Steve Jobs as their primary source for saying that PodTech is going out of business; do they realize how irresponsible that is? Robert Scoble does.

Duncan Riley's justification:

"We didn’t run it first or second or even third, I sat on it for a couple of hours. Problem was (and is) if we didn’t run it and it turned out to be true later we would have missed covering it." #

Anything to get the scoop, I guess...

Tom announced last night the rebranding of Netscape (the social news site) on the Netscape blog, and of course, Valleywag TechCrunch got it all wrong (and even stopped by to gloat).

I'm telling you, if TechCrunch was an entertainment blog, they would have reported Prince's name change as a murder.

Hey, didja hear that Techcrunch may be shut down due to poor traffic and insufficient ad revenue? My sources say that Mike Arrington is totally freaked out about it.

I heard about it from some guy that my cousin once met at a bar. After all, who needs legitimate sources when you can just make half-assed predictions about companies you don't like?
