However, the first piece of material TC published was not newsworthy at all -- it just grabbed a lot of eyeballs. What I wrote was cautionary. Eyeballs are good for Mike's business, but at the risk of a slide into mediocrity. I don’t think of it as evil, Andrew.

TC did nothing wrong, they have every right to publish everything that is sent to them that is newsworthy. The lack of anything interesting and the simple fact that Mike even bothered to explain TC's position on rec'v stolen material is the story here, however if the documents showed that Twitter had done something sidious like work with the Iranaian government to suppress tweets or some equally shocking story, we would be talking about the content instead - and the origin of the material would be inconsequential.

I must have missed that. I appreciate when someone links to it, but I never go without a recommendation-- or in this case a non-recommendation. I'll hold my nose and keep a distance from this story. Techcrunch is more comfortable at nose-holding. You mean it’s not a gossip rag? I must have missed that.
