Yes. Micheal Arrington’s Techcrunch is celebrating it’s 1st birthday. In one year it got into top blogs lists of many blog tracking services. Steve “Persuasion” Rubel has posted a nice post including traffic details of TechCrunch here.

The unique advantage of TC is in it’s focus. Micheal carefully showcases technologies and people (which makes great companies) who are going to transform our lives tomorrow. TC really had created a cool geek community which otherwise would have scattered around Myspace clones.

I really liked the way he had handled Edgeio. Even if its his baby and its a start of a new era (Yes Yes Microformats search), he had launched it normally; without misusing his fame or subscription power.

I say thumbs up to Micheal Arrington.
