Rest assured, there is going to be plenty of opportunity to cover companies in an appropriate way on the appropriate site to the appropriate audience. TCUK is a perfectly valid brand for its market and now we have it, it would be premature to throw it away. But thanks for your feedback.

Mike I like what you write but for the sake of UK startups, wouldn’t it be more valuable to have your coverage on a larger stage. There are nearly 5k subscribers here compared to 600k on TC.com

If I was Huddle, Favour.it, Nestoria, TrustedPlaces etc where would I want news about my company covered.

As it happens we figured the Tweetmeme story was right for TC.com as Twitter is a US company and Tweetmeme is aimed at a global audience. The other posts to which you refer were relevant for TC.com because they are about firms presenting at DEMO (US conference) who are also creating offerings either global in nature (Huddle) or aimed at a US audience (as HubDub is at launch). In case you hadn’t realised, this site definitely has a role to play, and since the amount of ‘friction’ involved in writing for TC.com and TCUK is next to nothing as makes no odds I will continue to do so. Or would you like us to lose the ability to have our own UK/Irish startups focused blog even now, after all this time and after so many people called for it?

I wrote a few days ago that it would be better to see Mike B have his work posted on TC.com in order to make more of an impact and today three posts appear. Coincidence?

So is TCUK closing soon? Given no one commented here on the UK story/companies related to twittermeme – it seems no one will be sad to see this odd outpost closer and for you Mike B to write about UK/Europe on TC.com.
