via TechCrunch UK by Mike Butcher on January 20, 2008
What’s going on at major venture capital firm 3i? Several whispers are reaching me that the VC group is planning to pull out of backing early stage Web ventures. A source who ought to know tells me they’ve heard such talk “from folk within 3i.

Yabb launches VOIP micro-blogging service
via TechCrunch UK by Mike Butcher on January 24, 2008
London-based Cominded has launched its first product, named Yabb, after a year in development.

Putting startups on the map
via TechCrunch UK by Mike Butcher on February 18, 2008
View Larger MapAges ago I had the idea of putting startups on a Google map and allowing them to add their location and logo. But as is the way with these things I never got around to doing it, which is why I’m glad someone else did.Today I was emailed by Douglas De Jager, CEO of UK startup dotHomes, who obviously had the same thought and decided to create just such a map.

London offices too expensive for startups?
via TechCrunch UK by Mike Butcher on February 25, 2008
It’s a truism to say property is expensive in London.
