Followup on TechCrunch' Macbook Air incident

Daniel Brusilovsky recently asked the founder of a startup for a Macbook Air and offered coverage in exchange. That founder was me, the CEO of Divvyshot. I came forward to Mike at TechCrunch.

For the record, Daniel never received any compensation from Divvyshot.

The guy who was involved into the incident with Macbook Air and TechCrunch intern finally speaks out. However, it looks like he's missing the most important point: all parties involved, including Mike, Jason and even Daniel, will likely stay connected and keep acting together.

"There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary" was said by Brendan Behan.

I think your story had to stop after delivering it to Mike.

MySpace product document leaked

On Tuesday we posted an internal MySpace product document presenting detailed recommendations on rebuilding the MySpace developer/apps platform. Included in that post was an embed of the document hosted on Scribd. MySpace has chosen to send a DMCA notice to Scribd to have that document removed, and Scribd complied.

So we’re putting it on our own servers. You can download it in all its glory here.

If you want to fight this, MySpace, you have to come through our lawyers.

MySpace is get to fight it back, by the way. I don't think it's going to happen though. :)
