Getting Buzz for your site on popular blogs & media, how much is really PR? (Yes, Techcrunch sucks)
noodle: its probably both, as well as a chicken/egg problem.having said that, techcrunch has gotten kind of insular and ... i dunno.  weird.if there were a more open/objective(hopefully) version of techcrunch, would there be interest?  i've kind of been mulling that idea around for a while, if nothing else than to try and snag some sweet private beta invites :)
