Blog Review Post

TechCrunch is one of the web's most authoritative technology blogs according to technorati.com. According to its mission statement, techcrunch.com is "dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news." In addition to news an analysis, Internet products and websites, computer hardware, and the technology/computer industry are commonly profiled. The property was founded in 2005 and gets over 33 million page views per month.


The site has a global network of websites specializing in different sectors of the tech market from mobile to environmentally friendly technology and more. The blog was launched in 2005 by Michael Arrington as a way to share and receive info about companies on the rise in the "burgeoning web 2.0." In less than a year and a half, the site started getting millions of page views per month and Mr. Arrington launched supplemental startups to cover gadgets and technology startups.


After TechCrunch (TC) was the first to break the news of Google's acquisition of YouTube in 2006, TC became respected online as a authoritative source of digital and web technology news. The Wall Street Journal recognized as it more than one man's opinion, but an authoritative source on technology news. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the sites content has shifted to covering social media sites like FaceBook and Twitter. AOL announced late last year that it would acquire TechCrunch.
