Paul Carr debuts at TechCrunch

Paul Carr got booted from Guardian and was immediately offered two jobs. I generally don’t link to TechCrunch, what’s the point; it’s like NYT, everyone reading it. But Paul’s writing style is simply an awesome delight. Bedsides, I really like this quote:

“Anonymous comments. If I had my way there would be no absolutely no anonymous comments, not just on TechCrunch but the whole of Internet. They are the last refuge of a child molester. In fact, I would rather encourage my only child to trick-or-treat his way down the sex offenders register than to spend one moment in the company of someone who would leave an anonymous comment on a blog. Man up or f- off.”
