There's also a profile of Arrington in Wired from 2007 [0]. It also gives the impression that Techcrunch grew out of his personal research for new business models whilst he was working with "Arrington's longtime associate and mentor, Keith Teare." Just in case anyone thinks this was perhaps written without Arrington's knowledge, his blog post would suggest otherwise.

EDIT: Removed ambiguity regarding whose research.

That picture brings back memories. That room used to be the Edgeio office.

The phrases like "grew out of ..." is interesting. The thing is that you can use this phrase to steal someone's work as long as both of you were working on something that is even remotely related. I have to add this phrase in my Credit Stealer's Handbook I'm writing :).

  Well, if TechCrunch called him co-founder in articles he contributed or was mentioned in[1-5], that may make things a little less clear. I wonder why they don't seem to show up in the search now?
