Not all tech journalism is created equal - or for the same audience, for that matter. @sarahcuda at http://pandodaily.com is leading a hard battle to remain an unquestionable source of original content, investigative reporting and industry insights unseen elsewhere. Pando should not be placed in the same platter as TC, BI, Mashable or the likes. In my opinion, Pando is to tech, what The Economist is to business, or The New Yorker is to culture.
Either you work for PandoDaily or this is a very elaborate tongue-in-cheek comment. I'm certain you're the first and last person to ever say "Pando is to tech, what The Economist is to business, or The New Yorker is to culture."
It's just a spinoff of TechCrunch in both its origins and content. It's like the Joanie Loves Chachi to Happy Days.
