Does Anyone Still Read TechCrunch?

TechCrunch directs some shockingly snarky questions at Twitter. Twitter responds in a very calm, radically transparent way, and TechCrunch appends this to their post:

Update: Twitter continues to be annoyingly and constructively responsive to criticism. They respond to this post here, saying “We’re working on a better architecture.” Kind of takes the air out of the balloon when you can’t get them riled up.

I am stunned by the lack of professionalism in that statement, no matter how tongue-in-cheek it may be. For a blog as supposedly influential as TechCrunch is, acting like a petulant middle-schooler who didn’t get the reaction he was looking for is absurd.

With dubious posts and childish reactions like this one, why does anyone still read TechCrunch?
