I don’t know how many of you read TechCrunch regularly, but TC added forums to their site on Thursday. It’s a cool addition to their growing network and I think they are well on thier way to creating a nice little web 2.0 community — interesting to developers, marketing gurus, CEO’s, and program managers alike. Right now, they have forums to discuss business development , give forum feedback , give/get company reviews , technical discussions , and of course, a general TechCrunch lounge to discuss everything else. It will be interesting to see how large the forum gets and what direction TC expands it to. Having an active community focused on web 2.0 to connect with others who share similar interests will be very useful for those working in the web 2.0 industry (or looking for a job).

Update : TechCrunch reports that this story broke too soon. MyBlogLog & Yahoo! are in early talks, bu...

Sorry for another short post with little insight, but Fred Wilson keeps cranking out great posts–the latest is titled “ Connectors .” FredĀ mentions that connections are key to the VC industry (weird). However, the interesting part of the post is the effect blogging has had on his ability to network and connect people–he says blogging “has surpassed my expectations by an order of magnitude.” To me–it’s a no-brainer. E-mail & phon...
