On Tech Media - yet another departure at TechCrunch

So Erick Schonfeld, the chief editor of Tech Crunch left yesterday. His incompetency as a leader was clear when he spoke on the stage of Crunchies Award, insecure, nerves, lacking proper posture for a public figure. 

Michael Arrington wrote about it. Interesting piece. 

Michael Arrington's distinct style and Tech Crunch's lean structure has make it hard for outsiders to maintain the blog's flair once Michael left. And its flair and insider scoop are its life blood. The drama and personnel changes
erode the blog day in and day out. Sooner than we know readers will look for alternatives (or have they already done so?), then everything else goes with it.
 
Is it too late to start a TechCrunch Death Watch here?
