MARINE CITY, MI (March 19) - In a sad and pathetic attempt to linkbait, New Tech Heroes editor Tom Kephart today ran a story about several "A-List" bloggers filling up blogspace with comments about each other. The feces-flinging began with a post by Michael Arrington on TechCrunch, and was soon followed by over two dozen blogonistas weighing in on venture capital, snobbery and corporate murder.

"I just wanted to be part of this moving human interest story," Kephart told his own blog in a post written by himself. "If there's navel-gazing to be done, I certainly don't want to be left out." Kephart added that he has recently lost over 30 pounds, which allowed him to find his navel to gaze at for the first time in years.

The TechCrunch post and the many posts reporting about the post (which oddly didn't include The Huffington Post, despite being mentioned in Arrington's post) were the lead story on Techmeme on Wednesday afternoon.

Kephart added that he was in complete agreement not only with what Arrington had written, but everyone else who had weighed in on the subject, even though everyone disagreed with each other. "I can't risk alienating any A-List bloggers - or venture capitalists - who might accidently read my blog," Kephart said in a separate interview with himself. "Although New Tech Heroes is only valued at a bit over US$2,000 (€1,281), I'm always willing to listen to offers, especially those in the low to mid seven figures."

No one else contributed to this report, not even some anonymous blogger at $5.00 per post.
