How Tech Blogging Is Like The Wire

TechCrunch's Michael Arrington compares tech blogging to the Wire, where all the old drug dealers got together and reminisced about the old days when they were all friends. "That is what's going on here," he said of sitting on stage with GigaOM's Om Malik and Read Write Web's Marshall Kirkpatrick.

"We are seeing the end of hand-crafted contact," says Michael Arrington. People are rapidly fine-tuning and evolving their content. "If we don't evolve, what happened to the New York Times will be done to us."

"I don agree with you," says Om Malik, "The headlines have a huge role to play, and we have to evolve, but you can't always play to the lowest common denominator."
