Techcrunch Gets a CEO - Blogs Big Business Now
Written by Richard MacManus / March 18, 2007 / 6 comments
Well here I am joining a Techmeme scrum ;-) The big news today is that Michael Arrington announced a CEO for Techcrunch - Heather Harde, who is currently the SVP of Mergers and Acquisitions at Fox Interactive Media. This really does prove that blogs can be big business - it's a heck of an achievement head-hunting a senior executive from Rupert Murdoch's Internet arm (and the owners of MySpace)! It's also good news for other tech blogs - like Read/WriteWeb, Gigaom, VentureBeat, and indeed any new professional blog - as it validates that blogs can be successful media ventures, given the right focus and a lot of hard work.
