I haven't been impressed with TechCrunch in some time.
Oh, wait, that's right, I'm supposed to care about Twitter and how many people are tweeting mercilessly at one another and omg there's a kill-a-watt with a Twitter interface and it's going to start up an INTERNET REVOLUTION --

@Adam Oh so true ... For me the whole last.fm thing was the last nail in the coffin for TechCrunch, they totally lost any credibility they had left, and things like this show it's not getting any better.
