Blogger in question is actually from Europe, he’s from Techcrunch Europe and writes from his home which is in Belguim. I think blogging is an inefficient, global cat fight.

Definitely a hint of truth there.

Great post.

It’s all well and good apologising after the fact (like Mashables Stan Schroeder) but that’s a bit like Michael Fish saying sorry in 1987 after the unforecasted hurricane beat the hell out of the South East. It doesn’t put the tiles back on the roof or replant the trees.

Sad to say but Mashable has gone down in my estimations and I will be reading there stories with a bit pinch of salt in future knowing they don’t research properly.

Career ending offence in journalism.

I’d love to know what the TC author thinks of that bloody #moonfruit is a trending topic. Is that important to him?

Great post! I searched for Billy Mays too using that new-fangled Google thing. I think it could catch on!

But being serious, both posts hint at a degree of arrogance on the part of the writers, especially the guy from TC, whose ‘apology’ seemed to suggest only serious subjects that he approved of should be discussed on Twitter.

Why is it so difficult for poeple to google something?

I didn’t know what moonfruit was, so I googled it – it was the first result in google!!

Yeah that’s the thing! It’s very sad, just wished that the journalists in question did some research before posting.

I instantly recognized this since I watched “Are you being served?” on PBS back in the day. I can’t believe she died! RIP
