Why Andrew Orlowski from The Register is a twat
February 16, 2009 //
I wasn’t going to give The Register the link bait it was looking for when Andrew Orlowski decided to write a horrendous attack on the organisers of a global charity event called The Twestival. I thought so highly of the idea that I flew to the Dublin one rather than hit the London event.
Instead of blogging about it, I blasted them on Twitter - to which, a number of very respected journalists demonstrated their support by blasting The Register itself - they basically told me not to waste my breath on them.
Paul Carr has published an email conversation between him and the gimp behind The Register article - it’s brilliantly put and it really does demonstrate how much of a twat Andrew Orlowski is.
It’s this kind of shite from the minority that gives journalists a bad name.

Orlowski has been proved right, though. Twestival aimed for $1m in a day - it's still 75% short. Twestival.fm is also far short of its target, 25%.

I estimate more money fell out people's pockets on the way home than was raised by Twestival. It's the Twitter crowd who look pretty stupid.
Quite pathetic.
You sound very insecure.

Frank - you're pathetic for slagging off a brilliant event aimed at helping to save lives. Full Stop.

Frank you are a f**king retard - how can you attack a venture that is purely designed to help people with no financial gain for any parties involved, you must have a seriously f**ked up view of life if this is what makes you happy.
Amanda + the rest of the team worked so amazingly hard to raise money for those less fortunate than ourselves and the best you can do is question how much they raised.
You have have no integrity at all.
