I agree,
Arrington could start anything up and have an instant cash cow.

Because he love doing what he is doing with Tech Crunch. It is like saying why don’t I hire posters to post on my blog because I love blogging.

I think you guys are missing the point… Mike is setting the stage to sell TechCrunch for a very nice pay day - then he’ll start this other blog to cover his passion.

Personally, I feel that you have to enjoy what you are doing in order to wake up every morning and do it to the fullest. I love waking up and blogging, networking, helping and of course making money.

I dont know how I feel about that article. Like some of the other commentators, I can see no good reason why he doesnt just hire people to run TechCrunch and let him invest more time in projects he is more interested in.

I look at it as this… I love blogging, and if I make money by doing something what I love, than why not…

Yeah alot of blogs / startups are that way, it starts out as something you love to do and it becomes profitable. Best of both words is great!

I don’t think it has to be one or the other. Isn’t that the American dream, making great money by doing something you love?

That’s what I was thinking. Mike could easily start another blog and he would instantly have a huge following.. not to mention a new source of revenue.
