Techcrunch is one year old today. Happy Birthday!
Steve Rubel gives a good run-down on Web 2.0’s greatest publishing phenom of the last year:
The path Michael Arrington followed can be replicated by anyone else and it proves that blogs can eat into the mainstream media ad dollars and eyeballs. All you need to do is: a) identify a high interest topic online that currently does not have a blog tracking it, b) write about it very actively and do it well and c) don’t be afraid to promote it. Today Michael is viewed as a critical newsmaker. He breaks big stories on his own right and with the help of PR people.
Congratulations, Michael!
… because he can.
