I’ve seen how TechCrunch started from a small site by Michael Arrington that blogs about Internet startup. To read about its success is both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. It may not seem obvious but we’ve come to another wave of dotcoms and TechCrunch is geared towards that direction to report the the latest scoops and development. It’s something that I really envy when I look at Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. People can really get rich when they have the concept, network, guts and right timing to create something new.
I’ve linked TechCrunch in a number of my entries I’ve made here in my own blog and I’ve also commented a few articles in there. To know that it makes more than 240K USD a month is just insane. How can a blog create so much money. It appears that Michael Arrington and his crew got a lot of creative juices to boot.
This is just one example of success story which represents how serious business the internet can be.
