September 21st, Beijing Time -- According to foreign media reports, Michael Arrington, founder of the American tech blog site TechCrunch, recently gave an interview to the American website Inc.com and shared the secrets of his career success and his attitude towards life. He said that he is most interested in paying attention to the latest rumors in the industry and releasing relevant news in the first instance.

Arrington is 40 years old and used to be a lawyer. In 2005, he began focusing on the situation of tech startups in Silicon Valley, USA, and released the information he obtained through the Internet, which is how the TechCrunch website came about. Since then, TechCrunch has become one of the tech blogs frequently visited by IT professionals.

Currently, TechCrunch has 9.2 million unique visitors per month and an annual revenue of around 10 million US dollars. Despite having 25 full-time employees at TechCrunch, Arrington still often writes various articles himself.
