Aside from anything else, it's pretty amazing that the Crunchies was put on by not just TechCrunch but with three other - effectively competing - blogs as well. In the media business there is no instance where you would find this happening. It's like The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Independent all running one awards event. It would just never happen. Here's some video: http://crunchiestv.blip.tv/#615526 BTW, I forgot to mention.

However it's seems harshly cynical to begrudge people getting a gong or two and just having a party. I think people need to lighten up a bit. BTW I also agree that we should do a European Crunchies - feel free to email Arrington and tell him so. ;-) Yes, people can criticise awards and yes they often don’t mean anything other than to the people who actually get the awards.

The deafening silence from the audience was probably embarrassment. Just seen the spoof Steve Jobs a lot of truth said in jest. The deafening silence from the audience was probably embarrassment.

Where do they make any money other than burning lots of VC cash. They are praying that Yahoo makes a little comeback and can afford to buy them or they will be in your dead-pool in 2008. Where was Jaiku, Last.FM (less than 4 years old), MySQL ($1bn to Sun), the list is endless. Maybe we need the European Awards ... because the crunchies were shit. The awards were for Arringtons friends: Gabe (Techmeme) , Tariq (Netvibes), Evan (Twitter), Zuckerberg (FB) etc The only surprise was that Loic didn’t get an award for Sessmic given his close friendship and that Scoble didn’t get a suprise award for best cry baby – they closed my Facebook account, thery won’t let me spam more than 5000 people etc”
