#2Wow, if TechCrunch was just about startups (Everyone of them), I might actually come back to as part as my daily reading. Until they clean up their articles and focus on what matters then it is hard to justify spending time on their site.

#3Funny you should mention this...The Startup Foundry is doing exactly that. A blog focused only on startups. Check it out, we have gained a lot of traction and have a relatively large following for being so new (about two weeks). http://thestartupfoundry.com

Is twitter the only way to get in contact with you? I don't see any contact page (or really anything besides the articles themselves).

#7Arrington says that writing about startups would not be the best business decision, and he is probably right - less people interested in startups than Apple, Facebook, etc as well as a reduced # of advertisers.
How would a "startup-only blog" pay the bills? The Startup Foundry guys - would love to hear your thoughts.

It probably wouldn't and that is part of the problem, a lot of things that would be great can't work as a business and shouldn't... I guess they could always go down the paid route, but for it to exist as a free blog and be entirely about true startups I can't see it being a business success like Techcrunch is. They could always try and work out a way to "pray" on the early adopter trend, where every self proclaimed "social media expert" (or whatever they call themselves these days) wants and needs to know about the next big thing before it's arrived and they might be willing to pay for that privilege.

The thing is that they are focusing on what matters to most people and that's exactly the problem.

#10Arrington will be there for 3 years exactly. I don't really read TechCrunch anymore, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on September 28, 2013 for his new thing.
