 TechCrunch (techcrunch.com) is an online blog that focuses on profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products and breaking all tech news. Michael Arrington, a serial entrepreneur, started this blog in 2005. Since then it has grown immensely with many writers and contributors that seem to get over 37 million page views per month.

Anything you ever wanted to know regarding technology and startups can be searched for and found within TechCrunch. There are four clickable categories on their home page, News, Mobile, Opinion and Startups. Some of today’s headlines include, “Huawei Officially Announces the ICS-Powered Ascend D Quad Smartphone” and “Hands-On With LG’s (Huge) Optimus Vu”. Both articles include pictures of the described gadgets as well as the author includes clickable links in green within the article so that the reader can continue to investigate into the gadget being described. 
I really enjoyed reading and looking through a variety of articles on TechCrunch. I think the bloggers do a really good job of keeping their ideas fresh and new within the technology world. Each article includes pictures of the gadget being described as well as many other things aside from just regular text like timelines and background info. The only part of the blog that I found distracting where the advertisements that continued to move while I was trying to read the page. TechCrunch is a large blog that is continuing to expand so I do understand the need for such advertisements.
