" backed up a notch but waiting -- situation yeah you know Yahoo! you know whether the first bubble the first tech bubble ass and made it through but in -- and that. Remaining Independent little unfocused well you know -- destroying the going to lose hundreds hundreds of jobs going to be going to be cut of the industries where they hit.

" Hello welcome back into their guest has had a party he'll techcrunch and former senior vice president of mergers and acquisitions for fox interactive media. Thanks so much for joining if they were really glad to have you with us and I think that me and last it was a big week for you guys over at techcrunch. You did your first annual G."

" We did it was an event that we happily co hosted with Vietnam read write web inventor be. And we really -- it was a great evening celebration I think really hopefully for the industry to. To identify them the key leader in technology innovation for the year though. I was a wonderful."

" First experience. It was great looking at the list of companies you had some familiar favorites that everybody used to seeing like twitter and dated and and FaceBook which also had a lot of smaller companies on people had heard about what was the process or. And getting that initial group of a nominee I did read a lot of blogs that you had thousands of companies submissions. And what that -- and you'll that would Hewlett down took before."

" The -- blood collected that's funny Award categories for the year and we purposely shows some broad categories. That that weren't specific topical -- also that you saw for example that's the you know most likely to succeed. I think that -- cut across the start spectrum. We invaded. -- the nomination process that all companies. And and readers could nominate their favorite start ups across the twenty different categories -- before block. Culled from that list what they thought that the top five would be and then again through an open voting process that's how the winner into that category. Elected."

" or some of the you know many not surprises but what were some of the standout -- story that evening you know you think back."

" I think at their best new start up for 2007 and -- then came in from Israel. With that we need -- than usual for for the Silicon Valley crowd -- really impressed about the numbers are actually did travel from overseas. For that for the event music -- from Korea -- at the end from Australia. You net bias from France -- Gizmos from Israel so we really have a hundred of the hundred finalists almost every when -- came in at the very few companies that didn't. You had some great response he said -- All of those winners in these categories. What we're which kind of had the largest landslide victories in which congressman it really difficult. Are keeping it that I don't tell ABC I hit. They're they're number close call across the board which leads me exciting -- got mine that I I not as you know Brittany -- come from because it was put logged in and and the name is it was the crises who came up with it. At -- that Michael Anderson. But we do on it you know working really arts -- to make -- an industry event now. You know -- am proud. --"

" You come from a mergers and acquisitions background and I you're very operational hands on on it on a growing blog network and pray. Where do you see techcrunch were going especially given your background. In mergers and acquisitions we know what made you put that protection and where do you see growth opportunities."

" Yeah and it's great questions I actually worked with manuscript for ten years and a lot of people didn't know -- my most recent experience in emanate on fox interactive because that was great visible but. In fact -- had a lot of different operating responsibilities. For different -- are divisions that in the art and it's actually for me this is an opportunity to return to an operating responsibility. We do believe that you'll you know will grow over the next year for acquisition to expand. The plot network Natalie through organic development -- new properties and also through acquisition. And for me it hopefully -- combination of -- schools that are really."

" So -- you're pat fox interactive and then you're invited to join his -- what do you see as kind of in other blog market is almost maturing almost where you see that and it's kind of growth cycle."

" I think we're really early stages. But I do believe that that blogs are going to be the future an important future V channel and I see that because of that type of news that block. Are heartbreaking person's traditional media and when things are really. Techcrunch on the map for example was. Was really -- in the news and then he came back. Acquisition. So I just think that that that type of aggressive journalism that Fox News combined especially with. The tape of community it's able to be created because that the posting of comments and and really how that would create very much too weak dialogue. I really think that that creep in and news media opportunity and I don't know that it's is relevant anymore -- you didn't need to get your news from. An overarching brand which is the New York Times I think and increasing basis people are gonna be drawn to individual lockers that they care about whether that be for their professional reading her -- I'm going to change."

In my eighth you know continues to perform extremely well I think -- to early exit exit box now that you -- please let's not. I think it thank -- rights and I was gonna get excited of them -- really -- Great Britain what do you think this is a great help reduce our. And and it it really if -- I think it is very pivotal time really opened the floodgates for the entire marketplace this is it you know that the time is very different thing."

" and non three acquisition. Forecast for tanker companies have been buzzed about a bit. What do you think lies ahead in 2008 or we're date. There's -- acquisition rumors and you know. Talk that they're on sale and you wouldn't what's your prediction yet yes blu -- given by evidence."

" I would want to speculate but it -- that they I think that there is that neither could be brighten and spread them another one Technorati. Technorati. That's right the in the cards yet I think average job hunters -- come on board I think he's gonna -- a -- help the business and -- monetization strategy but I'm not sure if -- are. Twitter there's another much love Silicon Valley. Company. I think I could -- bird twitter is well. I think again it had that agree. -- option. Hurt that that would make -- hurt -- candidate."
