I remember when you used to write for TC and it sucks there isn't anyone technical there anymore. Masnick is my new favorite blogger. I used to troll you guys,

  You might think otherwise, but most bloggers love the trolls. It was always the troll comments that would get called out across the office. It is a lot harder to write technical stories. You could write 4-5 stories a day about startups or other news, but a tech story could take all day to assemble. There is definitely an opportunity in a Techcrunch-like blog that is more technical. It just requires a lot of work and patience. The only way to build up an audience is to write frequently, and producing 3-4 good articles a day is difficult. Most VCs love talking to bloggers. Their job is to network and to be a hub of information - so I don't know why more bloggers don't simply introduce themselves and ask. There isn't really an impenetrable wall there - it is just a matter of finding them and reaching out. They are definitely the best sources.
