France Integrates With TechCrunch.com. Today, TechCrunch has some big news to share with you: TechCrunch France will finally become part of TechCrunch.com.
Launched in 2006 by Michael Arrington and Ouriel Ohayon, TechCrunch France was one of the first tech blogs to take off in France, and its launch marked one of the first steps toward internationalization for the TechCrunch network. After just two years, TechCrunch France had already reached 1 million readers by 2008. And in 2010, TechCrunch France relaunched after a few months of silence following the departures of Ouriel Ohayon and Alain Ezkenazi. It’s been covering French startup news ever since.
