If I recall correctly, it was a post by Arrington that informed me about the existence of hacker news. Which for me personally directly resulted in a reduction of visits to Techcrunch, and a sharp increase in visits to HN.
Anyone else who remembers the post I'm talking about (couldn't find it) and who had a similar experience?
I'm curious: there has been a ton of linking from HN to Tech Crunch since then (less so recently, of course) - did you mean you gave up visiting Tech Crunch as a destination or hardly ever even followed links there?

Possibly this one?

Yes, that's the one! After reading that post I practically stopped visiting Techcrunch.

Exact same experience. Wandered over here, and haven't looked back. I know that anything Techcrunch puts up that's worthwhile will make its way here.
