Funny 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
Arrington 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.
Paul Hontz here (aka g0atbutt), founder of the startup foundry. The short answer is I don't know...yet. I believe TSF will turn into a profitable business (and based on the investment offers I've received, other people do to). I want TSF to ooze value from every article,video, and pic. After that's taken care of, I believe the perfect revenue model will present itself. Until then we will keep pushing forward.

So... and this is a serious question. Let's say you cover the next Twitter or Facebook before they become the next Twitter or Facebook. Once they explode in popularity, are you going to stop writing about them? Even though those articles are getting the most traffic on the site? And tons of speciality sites start appearing just about Twitter and Facebook. And you even know people from Twitter and Facebook since you p…
How does MacRumors decide when they are going to do another story on something that is hot?
I will check with my boss/editor and see what his thoughts are on the subject...

A very good question. Will they be really able to resist "Poxxer, who we broke the news on in 2011 here and here" ...pfft always hate that start to a blog post. If they really would drop startups that made it big they could make it a feature. Instead of a deadpool, they can add startups to a bigpool, and tease the major sites with it: "we followed them then, you follow them now"

That is a really great, easy-to-read layout. You have at least one new regular reader. :-)

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).

To be honest with you....your question is a good one. And since I am not the editor or the founder of the site I cannot say with 100% certainty that this is correct but my answer would be: yes. The main focus of the site is to cover startups. As far as I know there are no rules for only covering them when they are small. So if something I write about explodes like a Facebook or Twitter I will certainly being followin…
