Interesting, how often can we expect to see new articles?

There does not seem to be a working RSS feed for this website. Apart from a couple of websites like HN that I directly navigate too on a daily basis - If I cant add it into my google reader I will never remember to come back to your website.

Lots of TechCrunch competitors launching recently, but I do like this one. It's sort of like a simplified Verge for startups. Hopefully they remain objective.

Wow, I clicked it expecting something half-baked.

Not so, it's a bit The Verge like but cleaner. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Hey, we're aiming to post several new articles every day. We have an in-house editorial staff (I'm managing editor, former GigaOM writer & editor Darrell Etherington is senior writer) and a group of global contributors.

But we're more focused on quality analytical pieces that press release rewrites - quality over quantity. Thanks for checking it out!

Totally agree, and we'll be adding RSS ASAP. It's on the launch day list of to-dos. Thanks for checking it out!

Trust me, objectivity will remain.

The team running BetaKit is sharp and really plugged in. Can't wait to see what happens.
