If you'd seen Techcrunch traffic over the last 6 months you'd know that TC50 is the only way Arrington can afford to pay his staff as TC has gone downhill in interest and traffic (almost coinciding with when you left) has been decimated. Mike has missed the boat on selling TC and so TC50 is what it's all about.
Duncan Riley Tory, I can't speak for his traffic numbers, but certainly the value in the TechCrunch buy isn't the blog alone, it's the events as well, and possibly in a big way
Couple of comments from youtube about lance the man:
- I respect the thoughts of helping everyone to live longer and any help is appreciated, just the wrong spokesman making the push. Left his wife and 3 kids after she worked to put him through school, let him train to get where he is, and paid all the bills. How does he thank her when he hit the big time. See ya honey.
