TechCrunch UK has been put on hold after a falling out between Sam Sethi (the UK editor) and Mike Arrington (Mr TechCrunch himself).

Doug and I have a lot of time for Mike Butcher and really felt that he was turning TCUK into something worthwhile. Which makes this particularly upsetting. It’s the loss of a newly found and much needed UK voice for a thriving scene.

Perhaps we shouldn’t have been so pleased to have a “UK version of TechCrunch” in the first place? What we really wanted was a “UK alternative to TechCrunch”, which is a very different thing altogether.

Just a quick note to welcome James to the company. Doug and I are very excited to be growing again and James is proving to be an invaluable asset already. He comes from a C++ background, but has taken to Python and Javascript like the proverbial duck to water. He’s been getting his head round TurboGears for the last week or so and is now putting in the hard hours on our latest project - Forkd - which we’re hoping to release early January 2007.
