Paul Carr is a blogger and contributor to the technology blog TechCrunch. Carr is known for his highly opinionated posts, which helped popularize his "NSFW" columns that ran regularly in the UK Guardian. He isn't afraid to take a shot at technology trends and thus his articles do appear rather refreshing amidst an industry often filled with hype. However, not everyone is all that thrilled with Carr's style; in fact, Carr himself claims that his dismissal by the Guardian, which blamed budget cuts, was most likely due to their concern over his potentially libellous commentating, and he has been accused by at least one other blogger of being offensive just to build page rank. Furthermore, even the title his "NSFW" seems to suggest a journalist who is focuses more of a priority on his style than his content (then again, is this altogether rare in the blogging world today?) Otherwise, Carr's style works for him and it wasn't surprising to see TechCrunch give him a job on the staff very shortly after his finals days with the Guardian, embracing what they euphemistially brand his "sarcastic enthusiasm". Carr might not be everyone's cup of tea, though his individualism and honesty seem to be key ingredients in his overall appeal.
