TechWag

Image via CrunchBaseMore like there are also tons of other stuff to talk about, and while Techcrunch is great, the technical blogosphere in total they are not. Amit Agarwal over at Labnol asks why everyone did not just jump on the Techcrunch bandwagon and cover Dave Sifry’s new web site, Offbeat Guides. The cool part is that there were tons of other things going on today other than the launch of Dave Sifry’s new web site. Not that people do not care, it would have been cool to cover the launch. The reality though is that Techcrunch does not make the only source of things to blog about.

Even techmeme is in flat line, it does not meant that what they cover is not great, not news worthy, but heck there were many other things going on today to. People might have been talking about the Android Jail Break, or the Russian list of very cool Google hacking commands, many of which were brand new to many people on the internet. Then Robert Scoble got featured on CNN, that was tons more fun news to write about, we might have been hunting the internet for Roberts video.

Then Louis Gray posted a file on non-blog commenting and the death of comments in blogs, that was something interesting to read as well. Then Aaron Brazell told us he was in Alexandria VA at the Union Street Public House having a beer, and a beer with Aaron is not something to pass up. Michael Tsai posted more favorite Flickr pictures, meaning folks would need to go through the whole flickr stream for the person to get a context of the whole photo shoot, that wastes time, but still fun to do.

Chris Brogan posted a cool note on why you should not help your customer or should you, then there was Cisco news, continuation of PDC 2008, should GM go bankrupt or not, the resurgence of internet taxes, and Chris Pirillo posted about a color-changing mug.

Dave probably just did not hit the numbers in the same way as all the other crazy zany things. Nothing against Techcrunch, but today was a busy news day, and while we have gotten used to the general enthusiasm for new technology that we all have, some days, only Techcrunch will keep on top of the news, and remain deeply tied to Techmeme.
