VentureBeat: Meet the new Midas List, same as the old list

    Geez.....a business model that is being flushed down the drain and they still pat themselves on the back with this idiotic ranking.

    First of all, VentureBeat didn't come up with the whole "VC is broken" idea. If anyone gets that credit, it's Adeo and he got it from Sequoia's RIP presentation, so stop trying to claim VentureBeat does anything but reprint TechCrunch posts and focuses too much on iPhone apps no one cares about! Other than that, good job at saying what others have been talking/writing about for more than six months now.

    The Sequoia RIP presentation (which I published first) was less than six months old. That's just one reason why your comment is clueless.

    I'm not saying TheFunded was the first to break it ... I don't care about the RIP presentation, just like no one else in the industry does. I'm just saying the whole "VC is broken" story isn't some VentureBeat exclusive.

    That is certainly true.

    If you'll read the paragraph again, you'll notice that I wasn't claiming any exclusivity to the idea (which would make about as much sense as claiming exclusivity on the idea that the economy is doing badly right now), simply pointing out that these are issues we've talked about again and again, and linking to a relevant article.
