For me, this is another reason why I feel like TC is dying. Posts seem to be getting more and more negative (lay-offs, this, etc), less about start-ups, and simply turning into a personal rant platform. Not sure if this is the reason, but something is causing traffic to slip over the past few months.

Anyway, if I were to launch something, I would not prefer to have my product story nestled between a piece about Yahoo layoffs, and a rant about PR (sorry AllFacebook, in this case).
- andr 18y agoI wouldn't say TC is dying. It's blogs like it that are replacing dying newspapers.
- polvi 18y agoTrue, newspapers are having a hard time. However, I would still rather give my "exclusive" to the new york times. I guess I'm just trying to say that TC is doing something wrong, and hypothesizing it is articles like this. If I was TC and saw this graph, I would be worried! http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mashable.com+techcrunch.com/?metric=uv http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mashable.com+techcrunch.com...

- andr 18y agoStartups are just getting less interesting. Blogs in general would not be down, as they are a cheaper form of entertainment, which should be on the rise in a bad economy.
- vaksel 18y agoeverything interesting has been done to death. Now the only innovation(and I don't mean ____ + ____ mashup) will come from companies with a ton of money to spend on research.
- harpastum 18y agopretty much a spin on "Everything that can be invented has been invented." I don't believe it for a second. There will always be room for some kids in a garage to make a game-changing company.
- vaksel 18y agoeverything that can be invented in the garage has been invented, now its getting to the point where any real technology needs a ton of R&D just to move forward
- jwesley 18y agoAll the big tech blogs now suck. Except for Uncov.com, which rocks, and they aren't big. Actually I like Valleywag too, just because they're the only ones not circle jerking with the others.
