The revolution has never been led by Wired. It’s a company of slick hipster egos and precious little substance.

I agree that CNET seems old. It’s useful, but “old”.

Concerning the NYT, I only seem to hear about friends who have canned their subscriptions. I canned all newspapers about two years ago as I can see a variety of opinions on the web – not just a single viewpoint as you get with the NYT.

Anyone see a correlation between NYT’s traffic jumping in the July/August span and the iPhone being release at the same time? Every iPhone advertisement shows it browsing the NYT website, and I’m sure that has driven traffic as well as NYT’s “coolness” factor simply by being associated with Apple.

@39 James: I don’t read Enonomist regularly, but I believe you. But can you say that big media companies do better in maintaining the same style than niche blogs?

@44 mig: I don’t disagree with you in the definition of a journalistic media. My only point is that “if we define media as an entity that delivers news/facts and perspectives”, TC is a media (and one of my favorites). And many other less known blogs are, too. Tagging is popular is because people can put different definition for the same thing. I often tag professional blogs ‘media’, in addition to blog, web2.0, etc. Should I not?

Right, so let me get this straight, the TechCrunch figures include CrunchGear, but the cnet news.com numbers don’t include the traffic from cnet.com.

Wow, that’s some amazing reporting, and a stunningly well researched piece of spin.

I don’t think anyone would claim news.com was perfect, or that cnet.com wasn’t in some challenging times at the moment. But the CNET properties do offer some diverse content, including cnettv.com, ZDNET.com, TV.com, GameSpot and worldwide editions of cnet.com.

TC, I like reading you but I take all of what you say at face value. This is a blog not a journalistic organization. Some people here seem confused as to the difference. I am not going to waste my time to explain it here. Go wikipedia-it and learn for yourself why it is that BLOGS seem to be one step ahead on product reviews than CNET for example. Ever heard of NDA’s? Well Blogs don’t have to abide by certain “journalistic standards”. This string of comments has a tinge of right winged flava’ to it. I feel sick now. Michael Arrington, you sound like a hater bro.

I’m not sure if this really means success for the NYT. I mean whenever you give something valuable for free people come. Price still is a signal for quality and will be. That would or could have make the NYT outstanding and differentiate from the “crowd”. You dont always have to fight to rule the whole world.

Ree, i agree with you. Its a joke to me. TC is nothing more than a glorified forum nothing more. I read and comment here because thats what people do on forum and chat rooms.

Just like everyone else they have their biases, but that doesn’t bother me at all, since i don’t really take any serious on here anyway.

@21, that is correct. The numbers in the post are just for CNet’s News.com property,the most direct competitor to the other sites listed (including TC).

@38 jason: I try to read Tech Crunch Japan but my Japanese just isn’t good enough. I would like to have articles in English. Plus, most of TechCrunch Japan is Japanese translations of the stories here.

@36 hyokon wrote “blogs like TC are even better. Why I like TC? I like Mike’s perspectives. The incumbents are too big to have a strong character. Their articles are different depending on who the writer is.”

What on earth are you talking about? All writers at a magazine like The Economist write in exactly the same character and style and stay on message. There is more diversity of character and quality at TC (and it’s not exactly a good thing… ie. Duncan.)

Mitts Kane, read Tech Crunch Japan.

Anyways, this isn’t too fair of a judgment. Wired is for dumb fucks. I mean, that magazine couldn’t even pull off a decent conference in L.A, I was so embarrassed for their magazine. also, don’t dog Cnet too bad, because it’s not the original owners still. Kevin Wendle did a great job starting it and has no control over how they have screwed it up now. Just as tech crunch will sell one day, it will also turn into a piece of shit.
