How can you "obsessively profile" most web 2.0 products and be selective at the same time? Perhaps by using a combo of the brand you developed, the contribution of your readership and your own editorial talent: - Divide Techcrunch into two "sections" (two blogs, or a blog and a wiki .. whatever) - Level 1 is open, entrepreneurs like Eric get to write up their own products. Yes, this would impact the overall quality ... but this would be more of a "directory" - Readers use a digg-like mechanism to vote on what's really important - You still independently decide what to write about the other , "Level 2" blog, but also have an automated mechanism to support the selection / filtering process: pick the most "digged" subjects. In other words this "level 2" would be the current Techcrunch, the open input / digging would satisfy the ever-growing crowd :-) Mike, a little while ago you already raised the issue of getting flooded with email request .. that post lead to a pretty good discussion in the comment section which I think is relevant here.

Is there something that causes a site to lose its "worthiness"? Thanks, shaz. Hi Mike,

Happy to compare/contrast Clipmarks to Kaboodle but i'll do that privately via email and then let you decide if/how you'd like to compare the two publicly. Thanks Mike.

Like I said, you are much more polite than most of the people I haven't written about yet. Clipmarks is on a list of about 20 companies that I want to write about. When a company starts to get a lot of press, they usually get pushed down the list because it is no longer "news" and I'm not in a hurry to write about it. Clipmarks certainly has been written about a lot lately. Also, sometimes something pops up that is not only somewhat interesting, but a very quick writeup as well. Eric, that's why you see things on TC that you think aren't as interesting as your company. Its timing and ease of post. I am looking forward to writing about your new release. Please let me know how it compares/contrasts to kaboodle, too. It will help the process. Eric, Interesting that you told everyone it was your email.

Feel free to contact me at my blog to knowledge share. My parents taught me when you run out of options, starting making options. It's a new world in tech media. The paradigm of ego-inflated tech writers making/breaking tech business, deciding whose 'worthy' has changed with the advent of blogs and self-empowered consumers. You have to move beyond hoping someone give you a plug to promote your product/service. Good luck with your venture. eric,
