There are very few websites that I pimp on mine because there are very few that I really fall in love with. I mentioned footnoted last week in relation to the Home Depot mess. One website that I have recently discovered that falls into this category is TechCrunch. Two of my main interests are tech and business and TechCrunch is an excellent site that covers both really, really well.

One of the first articles that I starred in Google Reader (coverage here) was a list of Web 2.0 apps that they can’t live without. Web 2.0 is the buzzword for reader generated content like this blog and Myspace and led to Time copping out and naming me and you as persons of the year.

I respect this list highly because TechCrunch literally reviews thousands of startups per year and clearly would have an idea of the best of the best. I use a couple of the items on the list (Wordpress and Gmail) and have put a couple of others on my radar for future use (Skype mobile, Techmeme) but all are wonderful suggestions.

Since I subscribed to TechCrunch I’ve starred various articles relating to services for my next cellphone, services for my desktop, and just general stories about startups doing interesting things.

I give TechCrunch the rare gold star for excellent reporting on a combination of two areas that very few can grasp intelligently.
