Just read this article: The Jig Is Up: Time to Get Past Facebook and Invent a New Future
It is an excellent article and he conveys what I have been feeling for a couple years now, since Arrington was on his last legs at TechCrunch.
I have been bored by the whole scene. I want to feel like 1998 again, when I was excited for my Red Herring and Business 2.0 magazines to come in the mail to see what future was being built by kids in some distant city. Or I want to feel like 2006 again, when I would hit refresh on TechCrunch.com awaiting the next of the mere 5 posts they would publish daily about some futuristic startup that was being built then and now.
I crave those feelings again.
