Congrats to Michael Arrington and Sam Sethi on their launch of TechCrunch UK.  Reports have been flying in on what a great party is was.
Here’s some party shots:

The love this new faceroll of Bloggers that Business 2.0 is promoting.  The titles of each of their focus areas is also compelling and well constructured Information Archuiecture.  It makes yah wanna go and read it.
I’m always tantalized when a straight publisher acknowledges that like $$$Billions$$$$ are made every year - on p0rn.   And religion [...]

Ever wonder how people find the time to do these faux, look-alike celebrity TV show ripoffs?
What totally amazes me - is when they’re done this good and are so entertaining.
So I can highly recommend you to go check out Jason Calacanis and company’s version of “The Office”.

Tariq’s software was used by the rioting youth of France to coordinate their ‘flash mobs’.  But Tariq’a purity as been soiled [...]

SpaceShipOne replica
Michael Arrington is turing into ValleyWag.
He got all hot and flustered over whether or not SpaceShipOne had been bought and was being mounted in some Google building.
Yo Michael - “Who the fuck cares about that bullshit!”  Please leave that garbage to Valleywag and continue to do what you do best - which is keep [...]

29,549 - that’s the number fo videos YouTube just took down.  It’s begun.
The dashboard wars continue.  Pageflakes has now released a version which publishes public pages.  Oh my.  You mean they’re officially turning into a DLA now?  Can’t wait to see what Tariq and company come up with - to equal them.  The batle of [...]
