I’ve never been a fan of Rocketboom. The idea was always interesting, but Amanda Cogdon’s personality just annoyed me to no end. She reminded me of that stupid blonde in high school that was an amateur valley girl and never understood a joke that required more than 3 IQ points. Sure she might not actually be anything like that personality-wise, but the intonation and mannerisms were all there, and that I just couldn’t handle.
Since I’ve never liked the show, I came in to the story about Amanda being “let go” from it a day late (and more than one dollar short… damn expensive booze…). Through Scoble, I saw the Techcrunch article about it, and it made me realize one of the main reasons I enjoy reading Techcrunch so much…
Michael Arrington is brutally honest and doesn’t hold back…
For example:
The funny thing is, based on what looks like really happened, she’s full of crap. Or both of them are.
How many bloggers who focus on companies like this for a living would come right out and say that they’re most likely full of crap? Not many. That’s the beauty behind Techcrunch… Arrington will review a new startup Web 2.0 company, and then talk about how useless they seem in the market.
And this is why I love reading blogs… Brutal honesty… If only more things in life were like that.
