I've always liked TechCrunch. However, over the years they've become like IndiaTV and IBN7, rather than TimesNOW or CNN-IBN. And that's so unfortunate.
TechCrunch is now-a-days inundated with news about iPhone application specific content. I do completely agree that iPhone is a phenomenon and iPhone apps are integrating the web and our own lives in a new way. There's also a lot of market for iPhone apps and huge investments too.
As long as iPhone specific startups, their funding statuses, the news about their user base comes in, I'm ok. However, every smalltime app that surfaces, TechCrunch reports it. I just want them to return to their original aim of reporting new startups more efficiently rather than just chasing new iPhone apps.
I even don't mind if they start a TechCrunch for iPhone and divert all the iPhone related content to that site and let the main site still deal with startup related stuff.
