    Maybe I'm not the first one to notice this... wait... I'm not the first one to notice this for sure, but it is very interesting and relevant nonetheless.

    I use a feed reader (Bloglines) to read more than 180 blogs every single day. Lots of noise, some good stuff here and there. But on the last few days I need to find more information about company X, or VC Y, and, as expected, I found several blog entries on those companies and VCs. But the blog posts were not that insightful.

    For example, on TechCrunch, most of the posts are neutral, some positive, some negative. The interesting stuff is happening on the comments... OMG! How did I miss that before. There are disgruntled employees, premium customers, former partners, current employees, happy customers, sad customers, everybody talking about the company and the dirty little secrets that are way more interesting.

    Another blog that has lots of good anonymous, thus juicy, comments is John Cook's Venture blog.
