The Crunch Network is expanding today - CrunchGear, our newest blog, was just released into the wild on a shiny new server. CrunchGear is all about new gadgets, gear and computer hardware. We’ve covered gadgets occasionally in the past (Sonos, Eye-Fi, Sony MyLo and others) and this audience in clearly intrested in the newest stuff to hit the market.
We’ve brought in a whole new team to run CrunchGear. The editor is John Biggs, who was previously the editor of Gizmodo. Under his watch, page views at Gizmodo grew from from 4 million to over 12 million per month. He is a seasoned journalist and blogger and knows how to write about exactly what his audience wants to read. John is working with a top team of writers, including Blake Robinson who writes the popular music blog audiomonger. More information on the team is on the CrunchGear About page. CrunchGear was designed by Jeremy Baines, the founder of ThisSideUp in London.
CrunchGear is going to be different from the other gadget blogs out there. The team is committed to writing about breaking news but will also be featuring weekly product comparisons in a given category. Expect CrunchGear to look like something between a pure blog and CNET Reviews. Our goal isn’t just to let you know about the hot new stuff coming out soon, but to also help you decide what kind of camera, laptop or MP3 player you want to buy as well.
There are a lot of new gadgets to hit the market every day, so expect a lot of posts on CrunchGear. If you’d like to subscribe to the RSS feed, it’s feeds.feedburner.com/crunchgear, or you can sign up on the home page to receive daily emails.
CrunchGear is our second product launch this month (we launched CrunchBoard last week). And we’re not done yet. We have two more blogs coming out in the next 30 days.

The whole network is great but it needs a better navigation system and a standard theme
TechCrunch is not the problem nor is gadget crunch nor is the tech crunch job board the problem. I wish all success, and I take back my disparaging remarks. The problem is that I’m an American who really feels that what is left of the principles of America might be lost, or that we are in time where things are more serious than we are led to believe. Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe I’m actually the problem, I’m willing to acknowledge that but, it was only so long that I could stay quiet. I’m off my rocker and my heart is broken about what it is to be an american. Something feels wrong and I don’t know what it is or where to say it.
It doesn’t matter if you think the technology lives in a world separate from feeling or politics. It’s so much harder to fathom than a 404. The most talented of my generation sit quietly while the vulgar assert that they’re solitudinal work is political and self-serving. I just really feel…
Things are wrong right now.

Ok Tim. You’ve scared the shit out of me. Seriously.
There are innumerable tech review sites out there: gizmodo, engadget, toms hardware, anandtech, hardocp, 1up, ign, kotaku, cnet, etc etc etc all with more experience and expansive databases of reviews. Not to mention all the magazines that are still around. I don’t think anyone out there is complaining that there is a lack of product reviews and news in the world.
TechCrunch is useful because it fills a niche. The new site is a boring money play in a crowded field. Yawn.
