"Gatsby-like" parties at your place, what I am missing out on in Chicago? Nice job on TechCrunch and the solid mention in the Journal.

Way to go ... remove all 'the 2.0 hype' and what you're basically doing is packaging your knowledge, your contacts and your perspective. That's a good thing and a great a great service to many people. I didn’t quite follow the ‘gatsby’ reference but it looks like you got a good mention.

My perception is Mr. Gomes want to make the case traditional media is more reliable on reporting tech news than the social networks driven by blogs and tech.memeorandum. He snipes that one can gripe their way to the top of tech.memeorandum list but ignore the fact mediocre web operations can cozy up with new york writers and get a mainstream write-up if they are related or friends of the new york writers. For the record, I visit techcrunch to learn about startups that writers like Lee Gomes wouldn't bother covering. The WSJ is good reading for business/economics but for tech, I can careless. WSJ only wish to cover the status quo (Google/Yahoo/Etc.)and not the technology in question (which Techcrunch is good at). In summary, I disagree with Mr Gomes dismissal of blogs outshining mainstream tech writers. They have in my book. I personally do not see the difference between a Michael Arrington or Lee Gomes when it comes to reading tech news, except the level of passion for the technology.
