Another article up from Fred on Wired.com.  Seems the opening of the article is a little bit of fiction to tee up some drama.  

From, “TechCrunch Blogger Michael Arrington Can Generate Buzz … and Cash”

“Michael Arrington was sound asleep in his bedroom in Atherton, California, when three men burst in. Naturally, he was startled. His first reaction, he recalls, was to tell them to “get the fuck out.” But he quickly realized they meant no harm. Clad in white business suits and speaking English with a Dutch accent, the apologetic men looked more like dandies on their way to a garden party than criminals.”

 Interested in what really happened?  Check out this video.  

Feels like Déjà vu to me.  Drama sells and helps to make a better story.   It is cool that with the web, bloggers along with the people in the stories can work as fact checkers after the story is published. :-)
