TechCrunch got a seal of approval from one of the stalwarts of newspaper journalism today.
The Washington Post said it would begin running TechCrunch stories in the tech section of its site. (It already publishes stories from paidContent.org and mocoNews.net.)
The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but we suspect if any money has changed hands at all, it's marginal. From what we can gather, the TechCrunch stories will live on the Washington Post site, potentially driving more traffic to the WashingtonPost site while increasing exposure to the TechCrunch brand.
We've got nothing against TechCrunch, but it seems crazy-crazy to us that the Washington Post, a paper known for the sort of reporting that can take down U.S. presidents, is publishing content written by a dude who invests in the companies he writes about. But what do we know.
