Hey Mr. Arrington,

You should check out http://yackpack.com/ and see if you feel comfortable using that to leaving messages. Then your whole family could leave each other little messages

You need a team of “Crunchers”. Figure out the components of Web 2.o and divide it if possible. So various people would have a particular beat that they cover and become experts in. Maybe something like Ajax apps go to one person, social bookmarking to another, etc. They could either post directly to TC or as a draft for your quality check later.

Then maybe some kind of virtual email addresses for the various reporter’s category or some kind of filter/forward from your current email account for them to handle those parts of your email overload.

Hey Mike,

I agree with these other guys — you need virtual assistance! I’d be willing to help too: strengths being graphic and web design as well as research. I can also sort through emails and send out responses.

Whatever you do, I hope you continue with the wonderful work here and on TechCrunch!

I agree the Internet is a growing and exciting industry in case any potential applicants were looking for additional support for the statement.

Hi Mike,

I am interested in helping you. I currently am entrenched in all that is web 2.0 while keeping a macro view of how it applies to the rest of the world. I currently work in advertising in NYC and would be happy to discuss helping you out or covering things you need done on the east coast. Please let me know as I am eager to team up.
Thanks,
~Eric

Hey if you need someone to I will sort some emails for you for free. Live in Texas so it would have to be online, but don’t mind helping out at no cost.

Mike,
Sounds like you may need some onsite help as well but I’d be interested in helping you out as a Research Assistant/etc. if you’re game for virtual support. Third year law school has some flexibility as you may remember and watching things unfold from afar has me itching to jump in!
All the best-
Taylor

Forget other benchmarks… Mike is feeling growth pains so WEB 2.0 must be taking off! We hope you wont lose your approachableness as you become a ROCK STAR. May we all look back at these times in the future and say with a smile “Remember when…”

you know digg.com right

why not clone them and have a similar site for people with web 2.0 start ups. anyone can submit their site, and we the users can digg it or dump it.

the more popular sites get the recognition, you can then choose to interview them, the crap that no one likes gets weeded out, and you won’t have to deal with it again.

your website uses the old slashdot model of getting articles submitted by users. since you are a corner stone to the web 2.0 world, why not work on a web 2.0 way of letting people submit their sites!

CLONE THE DIGG API /just kidding
