I was focused on this particular story, as I am always on a case by case basis. But rigorous, standards-based reporting combined with the exciting aspects of blogging, including personality, attitude, breadth and speed, is a winning combination. E:

Thanks.

TechCrunch's only value is that they break stories, but most of them seem to be just propaganda pieces from interested parties that Arrington (who himself often seems to be the interested party) is more than happy to publish without checking. I shouldn't rip on TechCrunch exclusively as they are certainly not the only one and that style seems to be de rigueur for blogging, but as people start to replace their consumption of news from traditional sources with blogs, I think that style is dangerous. Anyway, nice to have some real reporting in the tech blog space. Keep up the good work. Thanks for some actual reporting, Kara.
