SplashCast, an online media publishing company, has informed us that former TechCrunch writer Marshall Kirkpatrick will join the company as director of content.
Kirkpatrick reviewed the service in November. He will now be responsible for SplashCast’s overall media strategy.
“For the past few weeks I’ve been planning on working independently but the combination of SplashCast’s technology, team, vision and the job they want me to do was irresistible,” Kirkpatrick told us. “I think the company is going to be a real game-changer and I’m super excited to be a part of it.”
Splashcast allows users to publish video, photos, audio and text via RSS feeds to a skinless Flash player. The service will officially launch in January but the beta player will be available within the next few weeks.
Congratulations, SplashCast, on getting such a great talent.
Congrats to Marshall and congrats to Splashcast for getting Marshall.
Way to go Marshall
Congratulations Marshall. It’s a pity that you won’t be able to enjoy the perks of freelancing, but this sounds like something you’re going to enjoy.
Congratulation Marshall.
Thanks everybody for all your support! This is something I am very excited about and I hope you’ll add the SplashCast blog to your reading lists. The feed URL is http://feeds.fe....com/splashcast
Congrats and best wishes, Marshall.
Hey Marshall,
Good luck with your new gig. Judging by your previous success, I know that you will do well at SplashCast. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Cheers,
Aidan

Good Luck to All.
I would have thought it would be nice for Arrington to write this one considering Natali wasn’t even on the payroll when MK left.
Oh well, congrats and best of luck to you Marshall!
Congratulations Marshall!
I missed the original review but SplashCast sounds very intriguing*
Congrats to Marshall.
Natalia, do you have any screenshots of the companies product?
- Um I don’t feel comfortable with this guy working for SplashCast;
1. Because he reviewed it – on a major site; no conflict?
I feel a conflict – just an opinion.
Richard: please. This is the way the world works.
It is better for Marshall to work for a company rather than freelance. In our space, once your reputation gets tainted – you cannot freelance effectively. He should have come clean on some of the articles he wrote and the favors he was doing to his friends. Here he has done it again – he writes about a company and then joins them soon after. Seems like it was planned approach or ther returned the big favor. Good luck to him anyway since everyone has to pay the bills!
Michelle and Richard – I think everything is going to be all right.
Sounds like a cool product. Congrats to Marshall!
