This is my 4,212th post on TechCrunch, and mylast as editor in chief. The past few months have been a whirlwind for everyone at TechCrunch. We’ve had a lot of departures lately, but behind the scenes we’ve also quietly been building a new TechCrunch.
For every departure there’s been a new hire, we’ve been rolling out new features across the site (like the video and events hubs), and there is more goodness in the works including an awesome tablet app I am personally excited about. I didn’t want to leave until TechCrunch was set up for the next few years. And now it is.
When I joined TechCrunch in 2007 as Michael’s co-editor, the prospect of helping to build a new media brand online from scratch was what convinced me to jump from the magazine world to blogging. I got my share of headlines as a blogger, but what I found really exciting was helping to create a media business from whole cloth. It’s been an amazing ride, and I’d like to thank everyone at TechCrunch past and present for making it possible.
There is a lot of noise around TechCrunch right now because TechCrunch is changing. Ignore the noise, and focus on the work. In the end, that is the only thing that matters.
