A hot eruption of Bitchmeme has happened over the past few days starting when TechCrunch wrote a story about Last.fm sending its listener data to the RIAA supposedly to find out what naughty children had obtained the new U2 album early. Such a story obviously was followed by a shit storm of outrage including people [...]
People love to bitch about Techmeme — in fact, it’s one of the top Bitchmeme topics. More often than not, the root cause of the bitching is a story they think should be a Techmeme headline.

This whole uproar over Jason Calacanis quitting blogging has to be one of the most ludicrous bitchmemes / bitchfeeds ever. I was going to go back and read over all of this stuff from the past couple days, but then I realize what a complete and utter waste of my time that would be.
