Announcing a new GV general partner: MG Siegler

For some reason I would find it hard to take him seriously as a business person.

Its true, you can buy fanboys.

Not to be snarky, but this seems like a major win for Google in at least two ways:

1.) Tap into Siegler's influence and impressive list of contacts.

2.) Shut down a rather effective, vocal critic of your company. I can't imagine Siegler will continue his current line of Google rhetoric.

What happened to Crunch Fund?

MG Siegler built his fame from pageviews, and the pageviews were of his incessant strategy of creating flame-bait for the idiotic, but large, minority of people who think that their smart-phone is an extension of themselves.

Here is his recipe:

1) State that, in some way, Apple is better than Android in an absurdly over the top, intellectually dishonest way.

2) Let the religious masses passionately state their love/hatred

3) Profit.

None of this makes him remotely qualified for anything in the tech business.
