I don't agree with his tactics & I think he comes off as an idiot but there has to be more than one path to success for startups. How many businesses are actually sold (what most startups want these days) through good press/coverage from techcrunch? If positive coverage from techcrunch was the bellwether for getting sold then Riya would be google image search right now. Maybe his family connections trumps facebook groups & democamps with Sun Media ending up buying them...their design is shitty enough to be a Sun property :)

I agree Heri, when he said "Screw them,", he did make it pretty clear.

I am not sure Mediascrape wants to be viewed as a startup and do the whole social media thing
