50 startups TechCrunch was too busy to cover (while talking about themselves)

I know it may sound trivial, but I suspect it's partly because of the grey on grey text and inline formatting of the topic headers.

The format of "WHEN/WHERE", etc also seems pretty boring. It's like I'm reading a LAUNCH application for a company. The reason people used to love TechCrunch was because Arrington would take all that detail then condense it down, add perspective, and make it interesting to read.

It also doesn't seem like you're really keeping up to your mission of quality over quantity. Tons of the stuff on LAUNCH is news-of-the-day linkbait. It looks like there are 10+ articles per day now, most of which are covering the same kind of crap that TechCruch does.

And the company profiles don't seem particularly great all the time. Look how sparse this one is: http://www.launch.is/blog/hottest-techstars-company-debuting...

Just some feedback. I think you're on to something pretty cool with LAUNCH. I just don't feel it's up to snuff quite yet.
