RealNames was a scam, but his TechChrunch is worse

Great article, Mr Hansen.

RealNames was a scam that required you to install some junk IE plug-in to bypass the default DNS and use its own. Then it sold the "listings" to the highest bidder.

I wonder where Arrington got the idea for "The Bible of Web 2.0" from, then?

The lyrics might be different, but scam artists always sing the same song.
