TechCrunch for the Open Source Desktop?

Someone asked in comments what I meant about a techcrunch for open source

Luis Villa’s Blog » techcrunch for the open source desktop

Someone huh? ;-) I asked very purposely because I have been looking for good open source desktop “news” for many years.

Newsforge is not on my list, though there regularly are great stories there like a local report on BarCampEarth (hat tip: Chris Messina).

I really enjoy Michael’s writing, but it is not what I really want from a open source desktop news site. TechCrunch is the bleeding web. The voice is right, but I want less hype, more balanced reviews and focus on productivity in work and play.

Luis spells it out beautifully! I don’t think we are alone considering one of my top read articles is Linux + offline Feed Reader = Liferea.
