F**ked Company was exceedingly clever in its day, b/c so many of the companies were so overfunded and cynically formed, that it was hard to not be fascinated by the comeupance in some failures. The best part of TC IMO is its optimism about great stuff happening on the web today. The deadpool is sort of a buzzkill. Agreed, this is my least favorite part of TechCrunch.

After bubble 1.0 this insight was as slow in coming as the confidence to build new forms of web business. This time around I believe start-ups and investors are much more clued up and much more averse to boom/bust economics.

Indeed, something like the TechCrunch Deadpool is a great antidote to an otherwise at times overly bubblish sector.
