While I agree that more testing was called for (ie. try your own promo before telling people about it), calling this a lie is way over the top. Being embarrassed in front of the TC crowd is punishment enough. Let's be serious, people: it's not like he was expecting to get rich off charging $1 instead of $0.

You seriously believe he "accidentally" told techcrunch there was a free promo, despite not actually taking any action to make that happen?

I'm guessing he programmed a promo code system into Skribit and didn't test it before giving the code out to TC. I've done stupid shit like that. Does that make me a liar?

In case this wasn't clear, he didn't just "fail to test the code". He consciously put $1, where it was promised to be free. That is, he chose to not deliver what was promised. Not a "bug". Not a "mistake".

Only if you've never done stupid shit like that.
Seriously though, it seems wrong to put an .m4v file behind the "What is Skribit?" on the home page. None of my systems can play that. Is that an iTunes file? I don't 'do' iTunes, though I may be alone in that respect.
