So a friend pointed me to CrunchNotes today and it looks like Sam Sethi has quit TechCrunch UK over a disagreement regarding Le Web 3 comments. Having not been at Le Web I can't say much about the event, but I can say that on this occasion Sam may have needed to be a little more diplomatic, I guess at the end of the day Mike and Sam will go in their own seperate directions. The question now is what will happen to TechCrunchUK in the long term? Will it just disolve and something different take it's place? Will Sam start a new community with some other name?
I hope for the sake of UK entrepreneurs, start up companies and innovators alike that something fills the gap. It would be a shame to lose such a valuable community arena. I do think that if TechCrunchUK is to stay then they need to act fast and repair the damage to personal and professional reputations of all involved to get their credibility back. They really don't need a black mark against their names right now.
