TechCrunch有一個服務是整理所有評論過的公司，將公司的基本資料整理出來，成為 CrunchBase。
the best thing of CrunchBase is we can get the official info from this page, like the founding, the names of people who started this ventures.
but the innovative part of CB is this page connects to news or articles which saved in bookmark website and techcrunch. basically u can search related article by sphere it, but it is still very cool that the TC done for the company.
so we got a small introduction of the web 2.0 companies. we don't know yet if this page will be updated frequently. but it is a good start.
but in some cases the data seems not very complete. for example, in the the item of "del.icio.us" from ChrunchBase we only know that the serious A is founded by union square ventures and it is later acquired by yahoo, but without the info about its angel investor. It happened to be Tim O'Reilly, one of the most influential person in web 2.0 business. I didn't check all the famous website list in CrunchBase at the moment, but I believe sometimes the angel could explain thing more clearly than others.
