Ah...the glare...

Well, then.

Betsy expected that kicking off the show with a Part Two of last week’s bombshell announcement about the imminent demise of All Things Critical (which generated some negative – albeit repetitive – feedback directed at Mr. Wagner himself, it should be noted) would take all of 5 minutes.

What more do you need to talk about a site that had been in existence for 20 days before it’s creator walked away from it?

Well, plenty, as it turns out – ’cause Robert was on a tear once Betsy started the airing of the grievances. (It’s a rant well worth listening to, FYI.)

So while Betsy and Robert touched on Felix Salmon’s new Counterparties (Betsy really likes it/him, FYI), hit the high points of the latest Yahoo stumble and talked AOL/TechCrunch in particular and tech blogging in general (as practiced on both a regional and national level) – well, they didn’t hit on 3/4th of the stories referenced in the posts below. Ah, well…

Well, that’s why Betsy puts those preliminary show notes together – so you can still follow up on your own!
