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.

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.

But John says ethically we have to return it or give it to charity or some nonsense, plus he lives in New York and I'm in Silicon Valley...so I assume very few gadgets will make it my way. Regarding CrunchBabble - early name for TalkCrunch, was ditched just before launch. No plans to use it right now. Regarding the free stuff angle: Yeah, this was my first thought.

I know that you have several parties open to the public near the bay area. However, living in RTP, NC..I cant make it to any of those.. I have a few ideas and would like to network around with other TC readers to see if anyone would be interested in teaming up for working on the idea. Since, its not a company per se, I am unsure if a posting on Crunchboard will be appropriate. Also, you can probably start some thing to mentor others. Like, readers interested in getting mentored (on their entrepreneurial venture) sign up and then successful entrepreneurs, if willing sign up to mentor them -- maybe for a fee, maybe for free..You can have a sign up fee for providing this broker service. Considering the highly tech-fanatic audience of your blogs, this service would hit the right spot and would be of a huge help to people like me. thnx, pranav. Mike,
