    Congratulation.

    I hope they don’t influence your writings. We enjoy reading TC the way it is now.

    This is a great partnership Michael. I just wish I could really get http://crenk.com up to that stage!

    wow the line really is blurring.

    does this mean we get to bust your chops about “journalism” now?

    Thats a great accomplishment. It is great to see mainstream media taking steps like this one to incorporate on the ground niche publishing content, because as it has been proven time and time again stories break on blogs first, and the newspapers after that. Huge win for Techcrunch, but a huge value add for the Washington Post in covering truly breaking technology news.

    We did a partnership like this with a russian website, except they never actually partnered with us, and just started scrapping our feed and calling it their own.

    You deal sounds a little better, congrats.

    May 8th, 2008 at 8:13 am

    This is awesome, the only way the old newspapers are going to survive is embracing a site like Techcrunch, congrats

    It’s good for techcrunch but the washpost.com web site just became a little less credible. Sorry.

22. dave
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 8:22 am

    great - now all you need is genuine and consistent journalistic integrity, drop the reviews of pligg installations, don’t use posts to lambast valleywag-style and run spell check regularly and you should be good to go!

23. Oh dear
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 8:38 am

    Next thing you know, they’ll be co-publishing The Inquirer.

    Very cool Micheal — well done, great to see TC getting MSM exposure. We’re behind ya.

    if I may ask, is that a rev share deal?

31. Some failing media
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 9:13 am

    Interesting… There is no violent riots. I’m reading first Tibetan woman walking Olympic flame on communist or maoist soil to the mountain Everest. It’s great.

    It’s never on top story… I think Reuters & some news got it. Half of news failed to deliever on front page. It’s shame for some failing medias.

    I’ve waste my time reading Myanmar problem. The whole country send them million dollar aiding. What else is the problem?

    NOAA workers fell a sleep without giving early warning.

32. Oh boy...
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 9:19 am

    Yes, congrats.

    However, “Ideally they’d have comments and we’d sync them together from both posts” may not be such a good idea (from WashPost’s side). TC has a LOT of very abusive commenters…and while the culture of TC (on the TC site, that is) can handle that, I doubt the mainstreamers on WashPost will be amenable to such “lively” (sometimes explicative-laden) discussions.

    TC would have to implement a more strict comment moderation policy to make a go of that.

    Entering the mainstream… congrats TC!

    May 8th, 2008 at 9:37 am

    Rumor-driven reporting based on speculation and gossip is what we strived for during my long tenure with the Post. The kind of factless slander TechCrunch routinely delivers reminds me of Woodward & Bernstein’s Watergate coverage in the 70s. Congratulations! - Katherine

    Other mainstream media organizations should look at this and take note. It’s going to take creativity, partnerships and a more forward looking approach to same their industry, but its not rocket science. Content is king, even if that means pulling it from the blogosphere.

    Nice work, Mike!

    Nice job!

39. Some failing media
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 9:42 am

    Well, Some media are professional liars and cowards.

    Everything else is setup by secret governments… They tried to make you believe it. For example: 9/11, SARS, Katrina, Tsunmai, WMD, Michael Jackson, Britney spears, rising oil prices, etc… All of these belong to UFO conspiracy project, Extreme Fat Americans, and drunken idiots.

    I jump WashingtonPost to see if they are professional liars. I guess not.

    Congrats!

    I wonder if they are going to filter out plugs and speculations… if they do, they would only get an article a day :).

    DEATH TO NEWSPRINT!

    Lots of stuff written on Techcrunch may be well intentioned but is often totally wrong and almost always pure gossip. I know that some may think that this is where journalism is going. I certainly hope this is not the case. Techcrunch serves a purpose, albeit in a very muddled way. You’re a gossip rag. You write about start-ups but you’d prefer to be much more. Why aren’t you? It all comes down to quality. It’s just not there. Once a rag always a rag. It’s ok though. Be the best rag you can be.

50. Sig
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 11:34 am

    I think it’s a good idea to partner with Techcrunch to add some breadth to their coverage, but I hope the Post doesn’t rely too much on TC contributions. Their technology section used to be a lot stronger than it is now, and I feel like this will only add to their increasing lack of local tech coverage.

51. Brad Flora
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 11:50 am

    Congrats on the partnership, Michael. It’s clearly a huge step for you.

    I read Techcrunch pretty religiously these days. Its often fascinating and always interesting. That said, I take everything I read here with a grain of salt, because your “breaking news” often comes from “anonymous inside sources,” which I assume can only mean your buddies and ex-colleagues.

    Compare that to the Washington Post, which has a large staff of reporters who hustle 24/7 to report out stories involving people they have no personal connection to.

    Will you start issuing corrections when you’re wrong? Of course not. It’d be too much of a hassle. Tell that to the Post’s editors…

52. Roger J
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    does that mean you’ll have to worry about pesky things like spelling, grammar, and fact-checking?

    seems hardly coincidental that D. Riley disappears before TC articles get read by a wider audience.

53. jenkins
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    They tend to lose all their folks after a year. It’s a great site for Michael but not very rewarding for the rest of the staff I suppose.

    This project has a lot of promise. I hope it serves to bring more tech readers to daily news and more daily news readers to tech. The two are harmoniously connected and I think both Tech Crunch and the Post will benefit greatly from this. Hopefully Tech Crunch can work out similar arrangements with other news hubs.

    Great idea! I suggested that the SF Chronicle do something similar in the actual newspaper in the past but I think it went over their ability to understand technology. Nothing ever came of the suggestion and I received no reply in exchange.

56. Duncan Riley
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    I saw one of Erick’s posts there yesterday and was wondering why they were scrapping

57. jenkins
    

    May 8th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    Gosh, these comments are unusually harsh today. I wonder how much they actually hurt to read?

58. Anand
    

    May 9th, 2008 at 1:50 am

    Mike, heard Techcrunch is also planning a newspaper of its own?

    anyway, I would suggest a brilliant idea here - why dont we get into a partnership..You can use my site content and I shall use yours..we can exchange traffic that way!!!

    Sweetheart, I don’t even think a tin foil hat can save someone who’s gone as coo-coo for Coco Puffs as you have. Good luck, dude.

    Will it be under the editorial section?
