Site of the Day for Tuesday, April 26, 2011 TechCrunch Today's site began as a blog launched in 2005 by Silicon Valley insider Michael Arrington. With its staff of more than 40, a focus and enviable reputation for breaking news in the high tech industry, Gentle Subscribers will discover a widely followed and influential publication, in a style more reminiscent of steamy tabloids than of the typical detached analysis of the industry. "TechCrunch is a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling start-ups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news. ... TechCrunch's database about start-up companies, people and investors, has become the leading statistical resource for technology companies and transactions." - from the website Obsessively up to date, with stories filed by the hour, TechCrunch covers a number of specific areas such as What's Hot: Android; Apple, Google and Microsoft, along with Facebook and Twitter. A moving storyboard highlights the latest reports, while the inside track on start-up ventures features the current buzz. Recent articles noted the first lawsuit filed against Apple over the undocumented location tracking database uproar and the possible trend of smartphone users towards the Android OS. Additional sections zero in on Gadgets, Mobile, Enterprise and GreenTech while the TechCrunch Trends offers more soberly presented data on significant funding, acquisitions and investment within the industry.
