Hard to tell how serious he is. I personally think that TC is boring and I'm not a regular reader. But as a reviewer their impartiality is a strength. If people think that negative FB press is sour grapes then the reviews become worthless. Again, not sure if he's kidding but he's treading on dangerous ground.

He is definitely intending to be sarcastic, see the comments.

Perhaps, but often there is truth in jest.

Um, no it's not. He is serious in the part where he talks about losing an employee, but he is clearly kidding about the negative facebook info.

To the extent that he is not kidding, this is a really bad idea. Facebook obviously have a lot of allure as an employer, get over it. If TC is losing talent to them, that is their problem, not Facebook's. The idea that Facebook should refrain from hiring away any other TC staffers ("or else!") is ridiculous, and doesn't reflect well on Arrington at all.

(TC jumped the shark 9 months ago, anyway...)

Why shouldn't he be allowed to be annoyed by it? Consider somebody enticing away your spouse, would you be annoyed?

This is interesting?
