01 Mar This post is from from my other blog here submit_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/03/becoming-uninteresting-complex-facebook.html';I found this video interview on Techcrunch (conveniently). I really liked listening to the interview. Techcrunch is definitely a leading micro media company, and it's good to hear what they are up to next. So if I got it right, Techcrunch's primary focus is to keep developing a network of blogs that will target different layers of the Web 2.0 entrepreneurship population. That's a pretty smart move, even though there are counter examples in the blog network industry like KnowMoreMedia who got shot in the back lately by Google's latest ranking policies.Techcrunch is unique because it cultivates exclusivity.

March 3rd I think it's pretty obvious that Mike is focused on building a network of niche blogs, with the "crunch" brand.
What I found interesting was seeing his Revenue and also hearing about the offers that he has already received. Lets assume that his 2008 Revenue will be 5M, based on 3M last year and 750k the year before. From what I can tell they would only have expenses around 500k if that per yr, so he is making about 4.5M/yr profit. Why would he want to sell for 8M? Like he says, 20m+ is the types of figures he should be attracting. It's also interesting to see how much bigger the gawker network is. Nick Denton must be raking in the $$. By the way, on a side note: I have spent a fair amount of time in that house, as has Duncan Riley. Funny to see the couch turned around (it's normally facing the TV). Reply
