It usually works quite well, in my opinion. Perhaps this time it didn't. This I cannot dispute. There is, however, one point in your complaint that I don't really see in my post. I'm not being contrarian to Mike's post. What he wrote about SV is probably true. But, my post probably can be hard to understand if you look at it only in the light of that one post on TC, so let me say what was left between the lines in the actual post. And that is: TC is lately focusing too much on valley gossip, VC money, being first (which often doesn't make sense, since the service is not live yet and then hordes of visitors go nowhere). TC should, instead, stick to writing about cool new web startups. @matthew: you’re pretty much spot on about me reading Mike’s post, and then reacting with a stream of consciousness.

It all comes down to products and services that make life and work easier, more fun, more interesting, and so on. And Mark Evans smartly points out that Michael Arrington’s feelings are somewhat ironic considering that the web 2.0 wave helped bring him stardom, riches, and the position of being “one of the most influential people on the Web.” [...] […] Stan Schroeder of franticindustries (quickly becoming a must-read for this online media cultist) agrees, emphasizing that most people could care less about Silicon Valley culture.
