Interesting Interview with Michael Arrington Posted: 23 Sep 2010 06:11 AM PDT People either love or hate him, but we can’t deny Michael Arrington is one of the most successful and influential bloggers around. He founded TechCrunch back in 2005, and now the Web 2.0 and startups blog is one of the most popular tech sites on the planet, with almost 5 million subscribers and 30 million monthly page views. Yesyerday I came across an interesting interview with him, titled The Way I Work: Michael Arrington of TechCrunch. If I am not wrong the “The Way I Work” is a recurring interview theme on Inc.com, where they feature important entrepreneurs and businessmen. On Arrington’s interview you’ll get to know more about his work habits, about the evolution of TechCrunch over the years, about why he is obsessed with breaking news stories, and how he actually manages to do that. Here is a quotation: I usually spend about half my day talking to sources, either on the phone or on IM. There are very few people in Silicon Valley—or in tech, in general—whom I don't know pretty well. Chasing down stories is my favorite part of my job. My style is to bust the door down and clean the mess up later. That works pretty well for me. I've known a lot of my sources for five years now. When I call them, there's no salutation—it's just right to the point. I expect them to tell me what I want to know very quickly. Worth a read, so check it out.
