Does anyone know of a good alternative to Techcrunch?

http://www.readwriteweb.com/ & http://www.technologyreview.com/web/

I found this site the other day called http://www.technobuffalo.com/. It is a couple of youtube guys who got together and started a blog. It duplicate's a lot of the stuff you read on Techcrunch, readwrite, gizmodo, etc...But I found these guys way more personable. Check it out :)

I agree, it would be nice to have a resource focused on STARTUPS and not on well established web giants - such us facebook.

http://www.gigaom.com/ is a fairly good alternative. Balanced coverage of startups and new products from existing companies, though they do tend to cover more enterprise tech.

If you want a less filtered hose there are sites like Killer Startups. Almost any new site will get reviewed there: http://www.killerstartups.com/

With fear of stating the obvious, I also read venturebeat.com. I like the suggestion of killerstartups.com -- I didn't know about this site.
