ParisLemon: On (to) TechCrunch

  • ranajune · 8 months ago
    You're going to do an incredible job. I'm so proud of you, MG!
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    Thank you Rana!
  • Warren Colbert · 8 months ago
    Wow, big news. First, congrats! Second, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. As a fan of yours I am indifferent(perhaps happy since it is a good opportunity for you), but as a fan of VB I'm sad to see them lose a good writer. I'll still read VB regardless.

    Nevertheless, I trust that you'll continue kicking ass and stay true to the MG. If not, I imagine your fans will feed you to the pigs(a la Snatch), lol.
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    Thanks Warren, good to hear you'll still be reading VB. Hope you'll read me at TC too, even if it's only to see if I should be fed to the pigs!

    hey, that's great - congrats
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    Thanks Hunter (I almost just typed 'hunger' by accident).
  • Webomatica · 8 months ago
    Congrats MG! Personally, observing your career path from this blog and Review In Haiku to TC has been as compelling as the startups you cover.
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    I'm still waiting for Review in Haiku to lead me to greater things Jason. I'll keep pluggin away there :) Thanks for the kind words and the readership over the years.

    It's a replaceable part! I blame Mike. He was trying to make me cry the whole week :)
  • Imran Hussain · 8 months ago
    Good luck MG! It was great reading you on VB, even though sometimes I'd disagree with what you said. ( not about twitter though, but physical keyboards ;) ) Hope you have a blast on TC! Looking forward to following u there
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    Thanks Imran, I've always appreciated and respected your opinion even when we disagree! Look forward to continuing that.

    At last, your Watchmen joke from a couple weeks ago can be revealed:

    me: yes ... i look forward to the day techcrunch collapses and you come back begging for your old job
    and we say, "hmm, maybe."
    5:19 PM MG: and i'll look up and whisper, "no"?
  • MG Siegler · 8 months ago
    yes, that was a dandy!

  • rkorba · 8 months ago

    Congrats, MG. Meanwhile, you can continue turning ParisLemon into the -true- top tech blog...
  • Facebook User · 8 months ago
    Congrats! VB is a great blog - but I think you made a great move in terms of reaching a bigger audience. I'll try and keep up with parislemon, VB and TC because I'm still "that guy" - so keep doing what you are doing!
  • sarahintampa · 8 months ago
    Congratulations on the new job, MG! I'm a huge fan and will def continue to read you no matter where you go. :)
  • geechee_girl · 8 months ago
    Sigh. Leave it to you to find the one thing that could drag me back to TechCrunch in my feeds again. lol

    Congratulations MG! Your inclusion in the TechCrunch team is going to bring a much needed variety to the way of writing.. Best of luck!
  • Craig (lapp) · 8 months ago
    Congrats on the Move! Maybe now I can finally get some coverage for like any of my 5 sites! You can start with www.candobetter.com, then move onto www.vois.com, and then onto www.jicka.com and I won't complain. So since TechCrunch says you write fast, I expect them all done by lunch!

    Thanks and Congrats again!
