Om had grace, and will be missed by many.

Om shared with me some very personal thoughts and I think I’m not alone in considering his loss immeasurable.

My condolences to family and friends. Om writting has always been a reference since Web 2.0 era. Also enjoyed his photographabout friends and travel. Sad news RIP

Oh, bummer. I only met with him once - a mutual friend put me in touch with him. He was wise, gracious, and generous with his time. Bon Voyage Om.

I had a very similar single experience with Om: I was introduced completely randomly while he was at True Ventures; he couldn't have been nicer, more curious, or more genuine despite me almost certainly reading like a total waste of time.

It's both heartwarming, and bitterly sad, to see so many other posters confirm he was one of the good ones.

Sad. I remember first meeting Om in NYC, just as he was getting ready to move to the Bay Area and before his blogging career took off. As a side gig, he was one of the originators of the South Asian social scene (desiparty.com). Spoke with him briefly and just remember him being nice and friendly. RIP Om!

This is really sad. What a dynamic man to lose so early. Working with him at GigaOM as an analyst was educational and fun.

Wow. I've been following Om since 2011 and this is such a sudden news. I just opened HN and this title shook me. It literally did. Wow. RIP, Om.

Very sad, feels like an end of an era.

Sad! He (and Michael Arrington) were the first two tech bloggers I read religiously back in the web 2.0 days. Had Malik’s personal blog in my RSS feeds until now. It has been only a week or so since I read his last post.

So many years reading his newsletter, and forever grateful for Om. He replied to a cold email a long time ago with very specific, helpful advice on a project I was working on. What a legend!
