Michael Arrington Courting the media.

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton know a thing or two about getting on tabloids, free ads you might say. Here is a textbook example of how silicon valley does it. The New York Times writes a story on the suicide of an executive, who apparently has received a lot of slack from some blog.

Mr Michael Arrington, takes a look at it, notes he has not been on Valleywag in a while then writes a post criticizing Valleywag. Note that Valleywag is not the blog that is said to could have incited this executive's suicide.

And sure Vallewag respond, and Mr Arrington in the news.

Update: And here he is again mourning about the media, dude give us a break, or Valleywag give us some more wikipedia sex stories instead. These bloggers should just stop talking about each other, we are not stupid, as if they even need the publicity.

In my opinion Arrington is as pompous and eccentric as Frasier Crane minus the charm. If he is such a great entrepreneur do it again, Peter Thiel has done it again with Facebook, and even a movie "Thank you for smoking", now there is someone worthy of my admiration.

Honestly I am tired of this, fake celebrity culture, acting like rappers, yeh that is their world, we geeks do need our own Hollywood but do it with grace, after all this is the business world.
