Flattery by Imitation presents condensed Techcrunch by Mike Arrington
Flattery by Imitation is a new feature of Broadcasting Brain whereby we take an online presence (well known, obscure, or something in between) and attempt to capture their style in one single paragraph. Today’s post in this potentially irregular series features the industry leading blog Techcrunch by Michael Arrington.
Why are we doing this? Because we’re no good at puppets or video. And, frankly, by the end of the week, couldn’t we all use a chuckle?
Condensed Techcrunch by Mike Arrington
Readers remember that we predicted the upcoming demise of oxygen in 2007 when we saw a typo in the periodic table of elements. This EPIC FAIL was overlooked by other industry publications. They fact that we are still living and breathing is irrelevant. Nor do I think it necessary to point out that I hold a minor equity state in the element. Expect more similar trends to come: our sources indicate that nitrogen isn’t looking good. We’ll keep watching for future details AND we’re watching for the predictable Google play.

Ha, I hear Nitrogen has a few tricks left.

That's a common rumor. The plants are scared, they want nitrogen around, so they're trying to play it up. I'm sure there's a parallel between that situation and Google/Yahoo/AOL/Microsoft… somehow.
It's a bit daft, but fun!
