I am going to follow this along to the bitter end like everyone else and I will possibly have a different take on it in the end than some others.

I am so stealing that line. That is classic Brian. Thank you. “…TechCrunch is bragging about a panty raid it didn’t even go on & is teasing about publishing the pics in the school paper…”

The fact is that if there is any wrong doing, it was on the part of hacker that accessed these documents... Not mutually exclusive, however, might be TechCrunch. Don't underestimate the Michael. Remember Mike.. Don't be evil. Is the Blogger, turned tycoon part of a bigger plan? Who is the mystery hacker? There are just so many questions still..

These stories sell papers or errr eyeballs.

Good point. Twitter says it's like some one came in and rifled through an underwear drawer. Embarrassing but nothing you wouldn't expect to see. Following the underwear analogy, TechCrunch is bragging about a panty raid it didn't even go on & is teasing about publishing the pics in the school paper because "reporters report the news". They are loving every second of their highschool popularity. I would say it is still better than publishing, but I imagine that the ppl who would find this information financially valuable, will find a way ($$$) to secure it for themselves. So whether teh Crunch publishes or not, the damage is done. The fact is that twitter exists because WE want it to. I don't think that will change in the next decade even if possible plans are revealed. “I would say there is not much sex to it or he would have long since posted the information for fear of being scooped.”

Doesn't this play on Twitter's documents seem like a grimy move on his and TC's part? There's a reason why TC is one of the top blogs in the world, but there's also a reason why their tech savvy audience has turned into a crap fest filled with trolls. And it's obvious many of their articles feed off of that. The other tech sites that are popular in their own right don't have this issue and whether you're looking at no. of subscribers or comments, sure TC has more, but I'd rather go where the real value is - and not the TMZ of Tech.
