Grammar quibble: “Users of Google registered IP addresses contributed to Wikipedia entries including…”

You should hyphenate “Google-registered” to avoid confusion in this sentence. Otherwise the first 6 words can be read with an entirely different meaning. It’s awkward.

Just wait til google lights up the world with all of it’s dark fiber. Will those be Google.com or google.net hostnames?

BS post mate.. leave this to Valleywag and do what TC does best.. will ya!

Duncan, that would have been a good point to decide this would nor make it to a post…

Are we going to start seeing pictures of Britney and Lohan on techcrunch tomorrow?

Come on now.

I sure agreed 100% with you on the quality of TC.. LOoooOK at the the amount of advertisements that is sitting on the right column, page loading is getting slower and slower. I guess their “CEO” figured out a way to increase revenue to justify her “fee”. I personally do not think that there are no startups out there that they can write about, it’s become this high and mighty game, where startups need to chase TC editors and get their attention to have TC writers to even be bothered with them. I’m sure the are tons of entrepreneurs writing to them and were getting their door slammed in the face, because they think they’re TC and they are high and mighty. They seldom write about no-name startups.

I’m sure TC writers have done something right.. don’t you. They’re great when they wrote about inviteshare and then bought inviteshare – wow awesome. But then again there needs to be more rights then wrongs at this point of the game since they “think” that they’re the almighty reviewer and trend spotter of the web2.0

My advice to other entrepreneurs, stop emailing them, try Allen at http://www.centernetworks.com. He is one genuine guy who is passionate about startups and discovering startups. Check out Allen’s last few blog posts, they’re all about startup demo reviews, entrepreneurs’ interviews about how to get it done. He even has a FREE, yes FREE, startup tips ebook: http://www.cent...ips-month-ebook

Tell me what TC has given the entrepreneurs so far. Duncan – take a hint.

Though Google as a whole does fit into the “making an impact on the new web space” genre, I don’t see how this article, or a few as of late, fit into the apparent mission of the site. I’d rather see less articles, if there is less news (which I doubt there are LESS startups out there right now). Articles like this seem, to me, to dilute the quality of TechCrunch. This is not a gossip site. This is not a rumor site. This (as I and apparently others have thought) is a site about new sites and technologies that are shaping (*cringe*) Web 2.0.

Can we get clarification if this is the type of content that will be on the site from this way forward? Or will the direction go back to the ‘roots’ of the site?
