I was wondering today whether there would possibly be a market for another of Mike Arrington’s golden babies, after TechCrunch (USA, France, China, etc.), TalkCrunch, CrunchNotes, CrunchBoard, & MobileCrunch, dedicated to software in particular. Obviously, it would’ve been called SoftCrunch.

So, I thought I was clever and felt like booking the SoftCrunch domain name. Too late! It looks they’re in the process of building the website already (check it here, “Coming Soon” it says). I’m not sure the website was booked by Arrington though, since a quick ‘Who is’ search revealed the registrar’s actually from the UK (by TechCrunch UK, maybe?), with server hosting based in Stockholm, Sweden, and Amsterdam, NL.

If well executed and not too “daily reviews”-like, SoftCrunch can really become a category killer. Today, in order to grasp what’s going on on the software market, you need to visit between 5 and 10 websites (including Tech IT Easy of course, it goes without saying I presume). There’s no clear leader in software blogs, unlike Internet or cooking blogs for instance.
