Once upon a time, TechCrunch was about start-ups and gosh they were killing it. I miss those days! Anyone else?

That said, I'm assuming their change in direction over the years has been a business decision. I will always respect that even if it means less TC for me.

http://thestartupfoundry.com. What's old is new again. Paul Hontz had those exact same feelings, and has brought forth a blog that is closer to what TC used to be than any other I've seen.

I sure do hope The Startup Foundry perseveres. It's going to be one hell of a hard thing to do...but I hope they do it.

One bit of advice: Drop the "the" -- just "Startup Foundry" -- it's cleaner.

Thanks Justin Timberlake!

Hard to get their attention though. 3 emails, some tweets, and they've yet to reply.

Suppose everyone's busy, and persistence pays off.

Email me again (Paul@codesketch.com). It's nothing personal, we just get A LOT of email. We are looking at ways to improve response time. Sorry about that.

Heh, no problems. Like I said, I planned to be persistent. You might think of a way to manage responses automatically so the sender knows you at least received it, to keep relations good.

And, as I've mentioned before, I'm a huge fan of what you're doing, and how you're doing it.

TC wasn't that easy to get through either when they really started kicking ass ;)
