So guys this week instead of talking what we have been learning in class I searched the Internet to obverse other bloggers, their techniques and their ideas! After spending more than an hour surfing the web for the most prominent technology blogs, I was really interested in TechCrunch. It was founded by Michael Arrington in 2005 and reaches 10 million visitors and gets over 33 million page views per month. The purpose of TechCrunch is to "dedicated to obsessively profiling start ups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news."
The website offers all its users technology news and analysis as well as start up companies, products, and websites, in other words: the site allows for people to view new internet products, websites, news, analysis, and computer hardware. It also has a large network of websites specializing in different topics of the tech market from environmentally friendly technology to mobile technology. At the begging the site was developed to receive information about companies on the rise, and as the site continued growing, they started to show gadgets and other technology start ups. In 2006, TechCrunch became a complete news outlet and Arrington was recognized as one of the World's 100 Most Influential People. Now it is ranked #2 and #1 in the Info/Tech category.
Today TechCrunch has relocated to San Francisco, and is still one of the most influential news brands in the technology industry. On September 28, 2010, at its TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco AOL announced that it would acquire TechCrunch for $25 million. TechCrunch is now affiliated with several other websites, commonly referred to as The TechCrunch Network. By the looks of it, this blog will continue to be successful in the future and will continue to grow to new heights, while continuing to provide important news.
