Barry is correct, Jason is so anti-AOL it is amazing (and strange given the money they paid him) and he leaked the original mis-information to techcrunch to get the ball going against AOL and WIN. Kafka just follows anything not real to drive traffic to his posts. everyone knows it Thankfully Jason is gone from our WIN lives and we now have a proper team. Just look at the growth of revenue and traffic since Jason departed...it is undeniable. agree – Kilpatrick totally distorted the story at best and made up other parts completely as you call out in specific detail.

I don't blame him for writing about it - a journalist has to do what a journalist has to do. However, I do question how he came to his conclusion that people on the call were angry when he had no idea who was on the call and none of us even spoke.

It's likely they still get the WIN emails and Digg requests.
