53,651

On May 11, 2006, Josh Kopelman wrote, "As more and more entrepreneurs start building what Fred Wilson referred to as second derivative companies, I think they run a big risk of designing a product/service that is targeted at too small of an audience. Too many companies are targeting an audience of 53,651. That’s how many people subscribe to Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch blog feed. I’m a big fan of Techcrunch – and read it every day. However, the Techcrunch audience is NOT a mainstream America audience." What do you think? Is this still applicable in 2007? Why/why not?

a year later the techcrunch feed subscribers number over 500k. it really depends on the product whether or not that audience is important in my view.
