Direct, brutal, no frills, awesome, wonderful, honesty. Versus being smile fucked by someone who’s hypocritically polite. I’ll take the honesty any day for the win. – Mike Arrington
Before anything else, I would like to commend Mr. Arrington’s mode of writing post-techcrunch era, he’s back to the real world apparently, blogging the same way pre and quasi-techcrunch.
In a race to a more open society fuelled by innovations in the tech industry, honesty is the best policy. And to maintain that level of growth, people need to be straightforward, proactive, never spending large chunks of their time on unnecessary stuff. Combine this with pure, no holds barred, unadulterated, b******t free honesty, you have a recipe for a million-dollar valuation.
