God, I don’t know how I landed on this article/page, or why I started reading the comments, but for once, I’m wondering if perhaps the comments makes for a more interesting read than the article for a change??
(I’m thinking we could have a “Tech Crunch” Soap, with the amount of humour and witticisims generated by this article!)
@paulwalsh – now you just need Walshside, the Soap
@mike do the comment streams always make such entertaining reading on Techcrunch? – might have to start digging through em more often

Don’t need to use the app – I just shout across the office and he imparts it for free!

Whoever this “john” is needs his own TV show. Or padded cell – I cant decide which would be funnier.

Thanks for apology Paul!!! It wasn’t necessary but much appreciated. Which obviously tells more about your good charachter than “another johns”

just to be ultra pedantic (wink wink @mike butcher) i did say your tweets were rubbish, and i added a question mark.. because i don’t read your tweets, don’t use twitter and was indicating my lack of knowledge on that particular point! Hope that explains that remark also!

What is remarkable is it seems that the sheeple commenting on this article also lumped me in with that eejit. This is do not respect. And im sure they will not be as quick to apologize!

@John – sorry for lumping you in with that ejit. But take a chill pill dude. Andrew is a mate, so he was probably being sarcastic

whats Paul Walsh thick at me for? My main point is someone called him British and hes not hes Irish. My name IS john!. Dont know paul walsh, nothing against him, but hes not a Brit! (point made once again)

JUST TO REITERATE:
my comments were aimed at techCrunch and the last guy that said Paul Walsh was British!!

HOW DID I get lumped in with “other john!” who seems to be an ass. Are people actually reading the comments before the reply back????

@mikeButcher your one to talk about needing help. Does calling someone a Brit when they are not JUST need a sense of humor thrown in? I guess you just sorted out the whole Northern Ireland thing right there!! Sense of humor…thats all those catholics needed!!!!

@Richard Alvin you dont know what you are talking about. ANOTHER JOHN attacked paul, not me! Big difference. YOU need to heed those very same lyrics.

@paul walsh? did you actually read my posts???? Did they attack you in anyway?????

I must agree with Richard. I used to work with Paul and not only is he a great guy to work with but a good friend to boot. I for one enjoy his tweets and would happily put his app on my iPod Touch!

Both John’s, does the song lyrics ‘if you have nothing to say, say nothing at all’ ring any bells.

I have met Paul a few months ago and our paths have crossed on a number of occasions since and suggest that frankly your talking complete rubbish (putting it politely!) can i suggest that you go back to the playground where your childish banter should stay!

@John / @Another John – why, oh why, don’t you put your name to your troll comments? Nobody will take your comments seriously until you do.

The trouble is Walsh isn’t more pleasant in the flesh than his tweets. He’s a pathetic, arrogant prick. Pride comes before a fall. Butcher, you’ve stooped low this time…. something about Walsh working with Beebo Birch make him attractive to you?

They are a funny bunch. At least Julian isn’t afraid to put his name to silly comments – so hat tip for that.

John – Having sense of humour and being a pedant is no way to go through life. But good luck. You’ll need it.

Brit internet entrepreneur worth his salt.
wow the colonialists are everywhere! Andrew J scott you are a jerk! Paul walsh is IRISH Not BRITISH you fool.

And for a moment there, I read “un-iconic” tweeting. Paul is good for a pint and as far as I’m concerned that a mandatory criteria for any Brit internet entrepreneur worth his salt.

Pity nobody spoke to my mother though when developing the app, who would have imparted the knowledge ‘blue and green should never be seen’….

Just to reiterate….the mousing over of the tricolor and it saying UK is a bit of an insult, it should be changed to stop offending Irish readers

colonialism is not dead it seems.

I love the fact that when you mouse over the tricolor (ireland national flag) it says tech crunch UK – I find it disgusting and i wont be looking at this site again! And the whole paulWalsh thing is a really rubbish story! (like his tweets?)

I don’t follow the guy, but I’d definitely download this app if it were free
