World Shut Your Mouth!

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Goodness, all it takes is for Arrington to sneeze...

...and the tech world hands out a hankie.

Fiat Lux reads Arrington's complaint as a kind of "hey kids! get off my lawn!" Nerd Meridian gives Arrington a dose of medicine. Harsh but fair, and he even has a kind word: "Good show to Mike for at least saying how he feels."

Robert Scoble shudders in empathy, and Kara Swisher voices what I was thinking when I read the post: just say no.

Dave Winer thinks it's cool that Arrington wrote that post, and I have to agree.

If you can't indulge a wave of nostalgia and bash it out in a post at your blog, where can you?

Hang in there, kiddo, summer's just around the corner...

I am far less sympathetic to Michael Arrington, considering that he has driven out much of what he's complaining about.

I don't think you're the only one, judging by some of the comments left on his post. I saw yours -- zing!

Anne 2.0 has posted a response which is worth a look. Her advice is very sensible: take a break. :D She also seems to break the link between geographical region and the industry, in her post.

I don't know if it's convincing but she talks about her own experience.
