Design Critique: The TechCrunch Redesign (Devlounge)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:15:20 GMT

When TechCrunch redesigns, the blogosphere pays attention. Then it comments on it, with either snarky negative thoughts, or salutations of the brilliance of Michael Arrington. I thought I'd take a look myself.

Is Apple Losing Its Touch? The Numbers Say No (AAPL) (Silicon Alley Insider)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:00:00 GMT

TinyCrunch, LiveCrunch: Parasites, Or Just Blogs Doing What Bloggers Do? (Silicon Alley Insider)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:00:00 GMT

Mike Arrington's TechCrunch is a useful site , but sometimes reading it can take some time. Enter Matthew Glueckert and Jason Wilk. Their tinyCrunch rips off -- sorry, repurposes -- TechCrunch posts and those from other blogs, and shrinks them into 2 to 4 bullet points apiece. Then they sell ads against it. Neat trick! LiveCrunch , which has been around since December, is basically...
