[In a loud voice] Ich bin die Stimme!

“I am the voice of the startup…” Mike Arrington, TechCrunch, on the Gillmor Gang at 47:15 (released 3/3/2006). [audio clip]

“Zimbra [ed. a startup]…is a complete disaster…it is a total, unmitigated disaster for us…” Mike Arrington, speaking as founder of his startup edgeio, on the Gillmor Gang at 1:10:00 (released 2/20/2006). [audio clip]

Thanks, Mike. Thank you for being a friend. [end music]

Footnotes:

BTW: we here at Joyent think Zimbra is a great product for the Microsoft Exchange replacement market.

    Could somebody explain the subtext of all of this? Just not getting it…

    Could someone summarize the reasoning? I don’t care to listen to a podcast.

    I think David is noting the marked contrast between the first clip from Arrington – “I am the voice of the startup” and the second clip, where he unabashedly slams Zimbra.
