All of us here at TechCrunch are raising a glass to our readers and sponsors for your continued support. Here’s a list of companies who keep the news coming:
Wild Apricot: They automate the daily administrative routines for non-profits such as website management, emailing, member databases, donations, and event registrations. So, if you know a kindly non-profit (club, charity, chamber of commerce) in need of some technical help, point them to Wild Apricot.
LogoJeez: They’re logo experts, and their special October pricing is still happening. Check them out for all you logo, animated logo, stationary, brochure, website, catalog, and labeling needs. They already have a lot of slick logos in their portfolio.
Yoono: Yoono is a great way to discover and share sites on the web. Just download their toolbar (nearly 90,000 already have), and start rediscovering the web.
Faces: Their flagship product Tunefeed is a 100% legal, RSS enabled player you can use to share music with your friends on you website of choice. It will also import you playlists from iTunes, MediaPlayer, WinAmp, Windows Media Center, and Mac OS X.
Edgeio: They have over 100 million listings now, for all kinds of things like jobs, housing, events, autos, merchandise, and even personals.
Fonpods: Get podcasts on your cell by calling (712) 432-3030. Now you can get TalkCrunch on the expensive mobile device you already own.
Text Link Ads: TLA is offering a Feedvertising program that lets you advertise right in your RSS feed. The service is free for publishers and pays a predictable flat advertising rate.
oDesk: If you’re looking for quality programming talent on demand oDesk is your solution. Currently there are some .NET Developers on the service for $15 – $65 per hour. Curious? Check out the online demo.
We also want to thank Media Temple, our fearless hosting provider. We pay for this service but I’m pretty sure they forget to bill us for the occasional traffic spike. Thanks for being such a great partner.
Thanks as well to all of the great companies that have listed job openings on the CrunchBoard job board. We get an email every few days from people saying that they found the perfect job, or perfect candidtate, through the site. That makes us happy.

Thank you. Keep providing great information.
Yeah, thanks Mike!
Thanks for all you’re hard work, we love your site and quite frankly depend on it for the pulse of whats new.
Thanks Mike for all your dedication, this site rocks.
But one thing. I understand this is a business however I find the way you write a special post for your sponsors quite weird.
Perez Hilton is one of the biggest blogs and yet I have never seen a special post for their sponsors ever …
Your feedback on this would be appreciated.
Regardless though, your site is a solid one and deserves credit where credit is due. If the sponsors posts is what keeps this blog going then by all means keep doing it.
Alex.
Alex, I agree that it is odd. The main thing is that we want to provide extra value to sponsors by writing an occasional “thank you” in the blog itself. This gets their products in front of people who read the site via RSS as well. Sponsors are a necessary evil, but in our case I think we have a really cool group of companies.
No problem Michael
I have in the past been angry at times (not angry, but you know) about the sponsor issue but I do agree on this one.
Keep up the great work, yours is the first site I visit each day.
Thanks very much Alex. I was actually thinking about the issue of readership today when reading about how business week is concerned that they will become irrelevant. The idea is you have to stay a “must read” v. a “discretionary read”. I never thought of it that way, but I would rather have TC be a “must read” for a small group of passionate readers than a discretionary read for the masses.
(fyi, i think it’s Edgeio not Edegio… maybe tap Keith’s shoulder & check to make sure
Thanks Mike for this great blog. Since I started visiting this site, my life has improved dramatically. I sleep better at night. I find myself smiling more at work. My sex life has improved, although it’s very difficult to add to perfection. Overall, I would say I’m a better person now than I was before I discovered your blog.
Seriously though, thanks for this great service. I, as a young professional, find your blog as a great source of motivation!
Perez Hilton is considered one of the biggest blogs? I have never gotten that impression. I think that’s great! though I admit I always seem to hear more chatter online that he gives people the creeps – how he writes on the pictures or something. I also thought it had ad sense on it. good for him.
Either way, thank you to tech crunch sponsors for spending money Online! It’s good for all of us when you do.
Thanks for all the hard work.
I’m glued to TC on a daily basis.
Now I could be wrong but it appears my comment was magically removed….
so when someone calls mike out with specific concerns – it gets deleted…
interesting, very interesting.
thanks for the great blog – keep up the good work!
