Tweet's now deleted. That's not suspicious at all.

This link is now a 404. Thankfully Google has the text of the tweet!

Re: So A Blogger Walks Into A Bar…
#154So a blogger gets a tip from a source, knows the people involved, acts on it and smells a rat. He sticks around and talks to a few people he knows, makes a few calls and gets a breaking story. Sounds to me like bloggers are the new journalists and that traditional media is in big big trouble.
>Sounds to me like bloggers are the new journalists
Journalism used to be considered the fourth branch of government, keeping the other branches and large institutions in check. Blogs are the startups of the journalism world.
As America moves from bureaucratic capitalism with large institutions to entrepreneurial capitalism with many small firms & independent players, the responsibility to call out unethical behavior is transferred from news companies to the individual.

The original tweet was removed in the past few minutes (others have dug it up again). His latest tweet doesn't seem to be taking Arrington too seriously:
Thanks Mike for techcrunching me for no reason. Note to self: hold next secret meeting in underground bunker to get the feds off my trail.

Strangely, it's still on the feed. http://twitter.com/speechu
But the status link is deleted

#158There is a Quora thread for tracking who was there: http://qr.ae/EC7
Re: So A Blogger Walks Into A Bar…
#159Major players in the industry are reshaping it.
One says "I'm uncomfortable."
Another says "I subscribe to Playboy for the articles."
So Arrington doesn't name names.
Fortunately, everyone is now shamed to ethical conduct.
Re: So A Blogger Walks Into A Bar…
#160I bet it's people leaking fake conspiratorial meetings just to screw with Arrington. We need more information though. Were there any, ahem, cons there? How about any balding acebookfay employees? Were there fewer, greater than, or exactly 500 hats in attendance? Was there anybody there using saccharin? Did your spy camera catch theone?
