“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.

Gillmor Gang, 3/3/2006 (First clip starts with Steve Gillmor and Doc Searls and Mike Arrington having some back and forth, before the money quote.)

Gillmor Gang, 2/20/2006 (Second clip starts with Steve Gillmor attacking Exchange server, then Mike talks about his support for startup products.)

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.
