We had some staff changes at TechCrunch today. Marshall Kirkpatrick’s last day with TechCrunch was yesterday. He’s been with us for six hectic months, and has written a ton of brilliant content that has moved the blog forward significantly. I wish him well in his new endeavors, which you can read about on his personal blog. Marshall says he’s proud of his time at TechCrunch. All I can say in return is that it was an honor to work with him, and I hope he can find the time to come back and write an occasional editorial post for old time’s sake.
A new editor, Natali Del Conte, joins us today. Natali was most recently a reporter for PC Magazine, and a regular on John Dvorak’s Cranky Geeks show. Natali’s first couple of posts are up on TechCrunch already.
Damn, I’m going to miss him around here.
No more M&M at TechCrunch huh? Good luck Marshall. Welcome Natali.

I liked Marshall’s analysis. I am sure Natali would be be good, too.
I really liked Marshall’s writing so I’m definitely going to continue reading his blog. All the best dear Marshall and GoodLuck to you Natali!

[...] C’est annoncé sur Crunchnotes ce matin. Depuis hier Marshall Kirkpatrick ne fait plus partie de l’équipe de TechCrunch.com. Il a travaillé avec nous pendant 6 mois et a écrit une tonne d’excellents billets. Il se dirige vers de nouveaux horizons et je dois dire que j’ai eu un grand plaisir à travailler avec ce monsieur. Marshall a quitté TechCrunch sur de très bons termes comme il le dit lui même sur son blog (au passage je vous recommande la lecture de son billet sur ses méthodes pour découvrir les news avant les autres).

[...] I always enjoyed reading Marshall Kirkpatrick’s posts over at TechCrunch, so I am sad to hear he has left them. [...]
Maybe this means Marshall can return to doing things like Enough is Enough, Committee to Protect Bloggers and other horribly do-gooderish things. I hope so.
Welcome Natali
[...] Bear with me this is a bit of Tinfoil hat style paranoia, but what is going on with TechCrunch? First Marshall Kirkpatrick leaves, next you have the TechCrunch UK debacle which ruffled a lot of feathers. Then came the NY Times/RSS debate with Dave Winer and today it’s Natali Del Conte leaving. [...]
[...] After a series of departings by TechCrunch writers (all for good reasons), along with Mike heading off to the hills outside Seattle for some quality blogging time last month, Mike pretty much took backover the reigns of the blog and is posting daily. The result is a dramatic jump in the quality, insight and value of the postings. [...]

Umm, an online is less healthy than this worldwide light. Substantial age is that vital online. Some diplomatic minister babbled that structure punctiliously. A world has some revolutionary rooms. I smelled that poker on account of a texas holdem. A date is possessively exclusive.
