Are you a fan of TechCrunch? So was Pando Daily Founder, Sarah Lacey. And she was one of the many partners, contributors and fans that mourned the day their tech news source of choice “sold out” when the money and bright lights of AOL came a-flashing. It was this event that inspired her to build a new daily tech news site focusing on the never-ending stream of startups pouring out of Silicon Valley… A site that has set out to remain fiercely independent (Lacey has vowed “never” to sell Pando Daily). And a site that aims to entertain and educate at the same time with a witty brand of writing (rather like we do at All My Faves… we hope!). Check it out by clicking on the eclectic selection of stories we picked out below. Or here. Enjoy!
