Finding the Microsoft ATM story on fr.techcrunch cracks me up.

Are there any plans for summaries from the other TC properties?

“Think about it TC is only worth any value due to the UGC comments and the people who read, subscribe and create pageviews but will we see a penny.”

True, but why are the users there in the first place? Thanks to Michael’s hard work and great posts. He deserves everything he gets IF he decides to sell… you won’t receive anything as a user, you already receive the value of his (and the TC teams) hard work.

After all, Techcrunch isn’t your idea…

What i said was “”I look at entrepreneurs as, in a sense, modern-day pirates,” Arrington told Portfolio.com this week in an exclusive interview.”

I’ve said this many times, and it is squarely meant as a compliment. entrepreneurs are risk takers to the extreme, forging new territory, trying to create something brand new. They were explorers in past centuries, now they are entrepreneurs.

How in the world you can spin that into something negative is beyond me. You certainly are no entrepreneur.

Did you ever read this?

Mike Arrington calls us entrepreneurs pirates and mocks the community that makes him.

Here is my final question when Arrington tries to sell TC. (i.e why heather has come on board) will we the so alleged 600k+ subscribers get a share of the value. Hell no.

He will pocket it all like the founders of YouTube. Think about it TC is only worth any value due to the UGC comments and the people who read, subscribe and create pageviews but will we see a penny.

I am pleased to see TCUK covered on TC as it was my idea but does anyone care about the UK in the Valley?

Question for the US readers name 5 hot startups in the UK worth £100m+ ?

Good move guys!

But as already commented by others: a bit hard to read… fix the format (paragraphs, no bolding, maybe less topics but more juice) and we’re set

How about the below (hope the formatting sticks):

- Last.fm, the UK startup CBS bought, said it was getting a lot of traffic from its widgets.

- On March 14 Ireland finally gets the iPhone about three months after the UK, courtesy of UK-based carrier O2, which has the exclusive contract.

- Ireland-based voice apps startup VoiceSage closed a €3m round.

- The UK’s Squa.re launched a so-so video portal, but at least it had great video of Keira Knightley.

- The etsy-like ShopWindoz launched a strike into the UK from its Berlin base.

Thanks for the info! Great content!

But help us skimming by using item lists: *start* the item with the (bold)company name, and rather than “normal” blog links have a green “More…” link at the end of each item. It will look longer, but shouldn’t have more words than today.

And posting on Saturday around 5pm (UK) will help getting more attention, since you are moving it away from Mike Arrington’s drunken Friday night rants. With the current timing you’re still in the middle of the West Coast news cycle.

Although I wouldn’t phrase it quite as Jono did I think the point is valid. Bulletpoints ftw.
