Good post, thank you. I’ve kept reading this blog because of insightful posts like this. The nuts and bolts of the industry are great bellweathers (sp?); I recently dropped Techcrunch because it’s less about what news than it is ego. Stacey, I particularly enjoy your perspective (Om, you shouldn’t feel left out–I’ve got your personal blog in my reader, too).

Keep up the good work guys. I’m going to keep reading.
