TechCrunch is a web publication that offers technology news and analysis, as well as profiles of startup companies, products, and websites. It was founded by Michael Arrington in 2005, and was first published on June 11, 2005.
The website's Technorati rank is 8th, and is 7th in the Technology category. As of April 10, 2012[update], it has over 1,628,000 RSS feed subscribers as measured by tracking company FeedBurner. On September 28, 2010, at its TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, AOL announced that it would acquire TechCrunch for $25 million.
TechCrunch is now affiliated with several other websites, commonly referred to as The TechCrunch Network. These include:
The following were earlier separate websites but have now been merged into the TechCrunch main website:
CrunchBase is a free wiki-style directory of people, technology companies, and investors. It can be edited by anybody. CrunchBase is maintained by the web-based technology publication TechCrunch.
CrunchBase has profile pages on important people, technology companies, venture capital firms, incubators, and other companies related to technology in some way. Most profile pages have a section called "Milestones" that lists chronologically important events in the person's or company's history. Each milestone contains a link to a news article or press release with more information. Although the site is maintained by TechCrunch, the news articles linked to could be from the websites of TechCrunch's competitors.
The site provides the content under the Creative Commons attribution license (CC-BY), and requires contributors to license it to them under the same license.
The organization held a live event, the TechCrunch50, on September 8–10, 2008 in San Francisco, California and again on September 14–15, 2009; in 2010, the event was canceled. Its aim was to find the best Web 2.0 start-ups and launch them in front of the industry's most influential venture capitalists, companies and press. TechCrunch50, started as TechCrunch40 Conference in 2007 and ran for three years. The 2009 conference was the final TechCrunch50 event. In May 2010, Michael Arrington and Jason Calacanis decided to part ways and will not be hosting the conference in the future.
GeeknRolla or Geek'n'Rolla (abbreviated GKNR) is an annual one-day conference organized by TechCrunch Europe. Past events:
TechCrunch also runs The Europas awards and is a founding host of The Crunchies. Furthermore TechCrunch organises various one-day events, i.e. TechCrunch London and twice per year the TechCrunch Disrupt event.
TechCrunch also live-streams the annual ChinICT conference in Beijing - which focuses on the Chinese technology innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
In February 2010, Michael Arrington reported on TechCrunch that "one of [TechCrunch's] interns had asked for compensation in exchange for a blog post". Arrington also stated that the intern had specifically asked a startup for a MacBook Air in exchange for authoring a post about said startup. Furthermore, Arrington admitted that the intern had taken compensation for at least one post in the past. In response, Arrington terminated the intern and removed the intern's archived posts from the TechCrunch website. The 17-year-old intern in question, Daniel Brusilovsky, posted a statement on his blog shortly thereafter, admitting that "a line was crossed".
Following Arrington's statement, numerous criticisms arose questioning TechCrunch's handling of the incident. Tech gossip blog Valleywag questioned Arrington's characterization of Brusilovsky as an "intern", when he had previously been described on the TechCrunch website as a "writer for TechCrunch, while also working on events, conferences and business development". This was confirmed by Brusilovsky who said in a radio transcript that he was a part-time employee with TechCrunch business cards.
