PostCrunch: WashingtonPost.com partners with TechCrunch

In a move that makes the Washington Post seem younger than 130 years old, the WaPo website has begun hosting stories from TechCrunch, a major source of technology sector news and one of the Web's most popular blogs. This is another instance of the rise of Web syndication, the philosophy that says, basically, get your content posted in as many places as possible, and the bigger the better (the philosophy does not as yet include ways to make money). So the Post wins by adding a pulsing vein of instant tech news, and TechCrunch earns a place on a high-profile East Coast news platform. No doubt we'll be seeing more partnerships like this one.
