On TechCrunch, Web 2.0 guru Michael Arrington discusses analyst Henry Blodget:
The problem is that Blodget, like all analysts, build authoritative sounding but essentially bullshit predictive models to back up whatever prediction they’ve just pulled out of their ass.
Which leads me to wonder if Arrington has ever read his own site, Techcrunch, in which every day some Web 2.0 app is going to be the nail in the coffin of Microsoft, Adobe, or some other tech giant. I don’t dispute the very real, very true value of a lot of the stuff coming out nowadays, but the fact of the matter is a lot of it is unmitigated crap that smells like Web 1.0 and is being cheerleaded by sites like Techcrunch just like The Industry Standard, Business 2.0 and Wired did back in the old days of 10 years ago.
Thanks for adding the Oklahoma cheerleader to this post just because.
I too appreciate the picture of the hot woman, even if it has nothing to do with the story.
