Yesterday, we passed a big milestone for us at TechCrunch, our 10,000th post since the blog launched in June, 2005. This morning when I logged onto Wordpress (the blogging software we use to put out TechCrunch), I saw this message: “You have 10,010 posts.” It made me smile.
Even though there are a handful of us blogging every day on TechCrunch, we are all still trying to keep up with Michael. He has 3,802 posts to his name (I have 1,455, but I only started in September, 2007). I don’t know how fast it will take to get to the next 10,000. It’s not a race. But as long as you keep reading, we’ll keep writing. Thanks for helping us get this far.
So what was that 10,000th post? Fittingly, it was one from Michael, yesterday’s Death to the Embargo, that is already an instant classic.
I swear we didn’t plan it that way.
Vavvvv very good >> http://tinyurl.com/4rdhmc
10,000 wow, how long since the blog has been around?
i may not show it but deep down i know i have learned alot from TC posts and commentary.
Awesome job. And over a million RSS subs?
Congrats. You know what just minutes back, I was looking into my own blog’s WP dashboard and thought ‘ 491 posts..9 more to break into 500′
BTW, how many drafts that have been left unpublished till date!?

Also, why is my facebook connect broken? Anyone know?
There’s a caching issue that’s making some people’s Facebook IDs show up instead of their names. We’re working to fix it soon – sorry for the buggyness.
I allso have the same problem things that need doing on facebook but cant login its doing my head in. i will have to go out the house and find something to do nnnnooooo?

Congrats!
Upgrade to WP 2.7.
Congratulations! This is a serious quantity! The quality is great, as usual!
That is great. Who has the most posts? Michael Arrington I would guess. How many? Just wondering.
TechCrunch. I have a suggestion: For 2009, what about adopting the concept of Mass Collaboration and Power of Crowds and open the doors for different readers to contribute to TC website with their posts about startups and services around them. You will still have the power to accept or reject any post.
Stay tuned
Now, I am following you on Twitter . I hope to get direct contact with you. Have an idea of TC interest !
You may be out of luck, since they don’t really respond to direct contact as much as they do Direct Contact.
Wow. What a huge milestone. Congrats to the whole TechCrunch team!
You guys are great. Keep going.
It is important to factor in how very significant Digg was to your success in the beginning – until about late 2006

Digg still is important. One of our top referrers.
Great! Congratulations. Keep up the good work!
Congrats to the TechCrunch Team!
That’s some serious blogging!! Congrats on the milestone.
Congrats, Michael and team! I still remember those early days in 2005 when Kaboodle was starting out and so was TechCrunch.
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE id = ‘10000′ ?
oh wait… I clicked through but didnt finish reading… you can delete my comment at your leisure
Phantastic platform, you are doing a great job
We just passed 200. We’re gaining on you.
A deep source of pleasure, every day.
Welcome to the club. We passed our 10,000-post milestone on October 27!
Congratulations Mike & TechCrunch Team for completing 10,000 posts
epic.
You wouldn’t be as big if you didn’t have so many gawd damn posts every day! I’m surprised there’s not a million! ; ) Keep up the GREAT work.
congrats guys.
Congrat on the milestone!
Kudos on the quality of the post; TechCrunch a must read!
congrats on the feat
Wow! What a milestone. Erick and the team – Congratulations and you should be celebrating now.
Wish you the very best for the next 10,000 posts.
Best,
Raj
Congratulations TC Team. Great work.
Congrats!
You’ve been an excellent site in the good time, and keeping up the good quality also in bad times like these.
Wow absolutly amazing !
If only Duncan “crappy-i-will-post-about-just-anything” was still around, you would have reached this mark waaaay earlier.
How many comments in total?
I would imagine 10k*20=200k
The screenshot shows how many there are, 438k
Congrats, TechCrunch! Keep it coming.
congratulations～
Congratulation to TechCrunch team…10,000 post is definitely a good journey…keep it up…love you all…
Do check out my newly launched love blog at Cupid Blogger Dot Com
Congrats.
So, next target will be 10K post in 2009?
Considering TechCrunch was founded on June 11, 2005 now it’s around 1267 days already with 10,000 posts. Means average 7.9 posts per day. It should be 10K per year for a blog like TechCrunch
Anyway, Congrats for TechCrunch and team..
Congrats Tech crunch on behalf of 10,000 posts,your posts are very useful to me we can only compliment you in terms of best wishes as comments.
