Why does TechCrunch have to be the center of Blogging?
friism: I don't want to discredit Mr. Arringtons efforts (which do look positively herculean), but many months ago, with posts becoming increasingly scandalous in their wording I unsubscribed from the TC feed and haven't looked back. If the stories are important enough, they generally percolate up through other channels I follow (like HN) and usually in less hyperbolic guises.
