The former UK Editor of TechCrunch, Sam Sethi, who left TechCrunch following the Loic Le Meur (Le Web 3) controversy has launched a new blog Blognation<\/a> on 1st June 2007 after 8 months experiment with Vecosys<\/a>. The blog has been started with a aim of “Go Big or Go Home”.<\/strong><\/p>\n Blognation will cover Web 2.0 technology startups around the globe including, United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Italy, Iceland, Netherlands, Israel, Japan, China \/ Taiwan \/ Hong Kong, Australia, Brazil, South America, all with the help of 16+ blognation editors. Blognation will not cover any startups based in USA, aka Silicon Valley, because there are already enough bloggers reporting on US.<\/p>\n Sam Sethi says, <\/p>\n Well I took the decision some weeks ago not to cover the USA, simply because there are already enough excellent blogs reporting on the start-up ecosystem over there and one more wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make the slightest difference. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n According to the latest post of Blognation Germany and Italy launches<\/a>, the Blognation is still in “pre Beta”(trial & test mode) phase. Blognation is going to launch Belgium, Japan and China on next week monday and then scheduled to rollout two or three countries each week throughout the summer. <\/p>\n The TechCrunch UK website<\/a> has been lying defunct ever since the departure of Sam, although Michael Arrington did promise on his post<\/a> of 24th April 2007 that TechCrunch is aiming to relaunch the TechCrunch UK website on 1st June 2007 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The former UK Editor of TechCrunch, Sam Sethi, who left TechCrunch following the Loic Le Meur (Le Web 3) controversy has launched a new blog Blognation on 1st June 2007 after 8 months experiment with Vecosys.
