I always wonder how Techcrunch and Mashable along with GigaOm and Engadget manage to stay at the top of the blogosphere despite targeting the same niche market.

I’ve noticed that Mashable gets so many more retweets per post.

Interesting post, I have always wondered how those two compared in numbers.
Its obviously a slightly different audience in some ways, although I noticed Techcrunch (US one) has broadened their coverage over the past year or so. Startup news use to dominate, and now they branch out across the tech world.
Which is good.

Haven’t been a Mashable reader for as long, but I find a lot of their stuff is repeat posts / irrelevant to tech or social media.

What about the other tech blogs, are there no others competing for such honours ? or is no 3 a distant no 3 ?

I get a feeling that their TweetMeme button get them serious traffic too. Their posts are among the most retweeted. I wonder what would happen if Techcrunch would add the TweetMeme button…

An obsession? Well, I do look up to Techcrunch if that is what you mean. But I seriously don’t remember having written about sites beating Techcrunch before. What posts were you referring too?

As I said in the post; pageviews isn’t everything. The point I made was that Mashable used to be Techcrunch’s little cousin, in a different league. But now they ARE catching up. That surprised me and that’s why I mentioned it.

Regarding Mashable not linking back: Mashable frequently links to Techcrunch (at least 2 times a week = my guess) and other blogs but Techcrunch NEVER links to Mashable. Search Techcrunch and you will see that you mentioned them maybe 4 times since 2005. I know you break more news, but Mashable doesn’t do that bad here either, yet you always ignore them.
