I just realized I haven’t seen a trackback on Techcrunch for a while. I wonder, have we gotten to Mike or has the popularity of his site suddenly plummeted? Not sure which is worse for him.

Perhaps he’s building a trackback filter of some sort? I wonder how many people will continue to link to his site now, Michael Arrington himself admits trackbacks are how he first marketed Techcrunch when it launched. Now that he’s on top, I guess the rules don’t apply to him anymore.

Way to go Mikey, review based on friendships and now link based on friendships, I guess it was inevitable, can’t blame you.
