Once upon a time, there was a blogger. He was in love with damsel fakebook and expressed it profoundly on his blog. And believe me, these were not mere rhetorics. He was doing a good job, until one day fakebook, in its success story, ran over his foot. And suddently there was a change of heart.

Seems like a nice story, but this is actually what Arrington ended up into. Last whole year, he had been pushing facebook this, facebook that, facebook facebook facebook. Even smallest twists on facebook features used to be his king sized XXL blog posts. In order to provide him the inspirations for his writings, facebook needed to grow, and that too fast. Based on some arguable valuations, facebook was able to attract millions of green paper, and started of hiring the best they could. They hired googlers, microtards, and BEN MEYER. Ben who??? This dude was a product management intern at techcrunch. I understand Ben’s too wanted to be a millionaire some day, and as is consensus, facebook is shortcut. Mike could not prevent this move, but he expressed something like this

But I am not happy at all with Facebook about this. Stay the hell away from our employees, Facebook, and fill your employment quotas elsewhere. Anyone else, and I declare war.

On a completely unrelated note, if anyone has a lead on a highly negative Facebook story, send it our way. Unfounded rumors and pure speculation are encouraged. Jerks.

Well! your anger os understood, but you are acting like an idiot power monger. You are a well read blogger, that cool and welcome. But you have no right to declare war! World moves on dude. Except the reality. Misusing your position should be last thing on your mind. And anyhow, i feel folks will agree with me on the fact that there is less you can do in this case. Try to bringup good and meaningful issues, and we’ll help you out. You are not an eight year old kid.

  • Boy!! Welcome

    If that was sarcasm, then i'm afraid i did not get it. Ben had to be congratulated, else arrington's crunches wud have landed in a PR disaster.

    This dude has a history of declared wars here and there. A typical blogger just growing out of his shoes.

    Techcrunch is a company and has active dev/product management there.

    I read that post Ashish and he wasn't really pissed off, just using sarcasm to show his approval. He does say Congratulation To Ben in bold. :D
