TechCrunch is a blog about Web 2.0 products & companies. Many of the posts are written by Michael Arrington. The blog's first post was on June 11 2005.

The website's Technorati rank is 2, and is their 3rd most favorited blog. As of January 10 2009, it has over 1,808,000 web feed subscribers as measured by tracking company FeedBurner. On August 27 2008, TechCrunch rolled out a new web site design. As of January 28, 2009, Michael Arrington, will be taking a break.

Programs

TechCrunch sells image advertisements for US$12,000 per month with a minimum purchase of 2 months. The organization held a live event, the TechCrunch50, on September 8-10, 2008 in San Francisco, California.

Criticism

As a popular website, TechCrunch faces a high degree of public scrutiny, and TechCrunch employees have been periodically accused of various conflicts of interest. However, no claims of conflict of interest against TechCrunch have ever been proven. Original MobileCrunch editor Oliver Starr's duties are now handled by several authors. Starr was apparently fired by Arrington, allegedly for a conflict of interest arising from Starr's serving as Senior Mobile Analyst for "The Guidewire Group." Starr claims that the dispute arose instead from a payment dispute with Arrington over payments allegedly due Starr.
