It’s been about a year since TechCrunch UK relaunched under the capable hands of editor Mike Butcher, and his hard work is paying off. Readers of the Computer Weekly have voted it the best Web 2.0 and business blog in the UK. Congratulations, Mike. He was also named one of the top 100 media personalities in the UK by the Independent and invite-only, hoi-polloi social club the Hospital. At No. 47, he even beat out Gawker Media founder Nick Denton, No. 58 (who is British, but lives in New York City).
We regularly highlight some of Butcher’s posts here at TC Central, but if you are interested in the European Web scene, we hope you’ll bookmark TCUK or add it to your feed. And for those of you who read French, Ouriel Ohayon at TechCrunch France often scoops us on news. Both blogs have really helped us raise our visibility in Europe, and help us keep tabs on Web startups over there.
Congrats Mike – well-deserved!
Well done Mike. Your blog is a great way for me to keep on top of the UK technology scene; and you’ve certainly done wonders to raise the profile of the UK companies who participated on the WebMission earlier this year.
Mike now you are added
Thanks for this post

I love TechCrunch but when it’s about local coverage and reviews TechCrunchUK is great for European markets. I believe
Mike is doing such a great job in TechCrunchUK and also he is now well known in the region after his great effort doing TechCrunch Europe Meetups. I’ve met him when we’ve organized the one in Istanbul. (Videos of TechCrunch & Webrazzi MeetUp)
I believe he will raise TechCrunch’s visibility in Europe even more on the following months. Congratulations Mike!
Well Done Mike B.
Joe.
…but please bear in mind that in the UK, ‘vanity fair’ magazine is considered ‘literature’ and standards are in fact quite low…
100 % agreed. You’re the best.
Yay MikeB! Doing a good job
Congrats mate! Now go have a few pints for all your success. I will be looking forwards to the drunk acceptance post. Things I miss about being in the UK are the Pubs, the Rugby and Page3.
Congrats to Mike and TechCrunchUK
hoi polloi?
Thanks people – stay tuned to the TCUK feed as we’re planning a lot more from next week…
