Does Techcrunch Believe in Recycling News?

How Techcrunch posted old news and did not even bother to link to my original post, from three months back.

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials“, according to Wikipedia.

Techcrunch published a post today about the “new” $1 million round raised by Israeli start up Toda!Cell – only three and a half months too late…

We’ve been in a short hiatus this summer, but VC Cafe published an exclusive interview with TodaCell’s CEO Moshe Vaknin, posted on June 26th.

You could argue that they didn’t know, right? Wrong. A quick search on Google on the company name (a basic due diligence step) would have led them to our post on the 4th result, linked from MocoNews.

Roi Carthy is a colleague and a talented blogger –  I have a lot of respect for the guy. But if you are going to recycle, why not use the original material? After all “In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material” .

All I’m saying is,  not cool, and a link would have been nice. Oh – and good luck to TodaCell, Moshe and the team.
