People need to stop taking TechCrunch seriously. Michael Arrington is fed by venture capital firms and their portfolio companies, and has far too many conflicts of interest to be credible. Most of his posts are extremely biased and tilted toward the current thinking of those feeding him information. You gain no competitive advantage from reading this nonsense.

Killerstartups.com if you just want volume. There's definitely room for a happy medium of the two.

Just go directly to the VC's own webpages; that's all TechCrunch has become.

A lot of (probably most of) the startups covered by TechCrunch aren't funded by VCs.
