TechCrunch moves to San Francisco
  I saw a note a few days ago that TechCrunch is moving. Their old offices were in Palo Alto, so I wondered where their new offices would be. Sunnyvale? San Mateo?
  Turns out they moved to South of Market, 410 Townsend, on the street where it all started. When Macromind moved from Chicago to San Francisco, they set up shop on Townsend.
    You're not going to believe this.
    That address is exactly where Macromind started. Funny how the picture looks nothing like the space used to.
    Here's an Infoworld article Google from 1991 that says clearly that Macromind was at 410 Townsend.
    Do'oh! ";->"
  Macromind founder Marc Canter had the vision that the tech and art scene would fit into what was an industrial and largely forgotten part of San Francisco. Guys like Marc single-handedly start coral reefs.
    Marc lives in Ohio now and blogs at http://marc.blogs.it/.
  It's also really convenient to drive to from the Valley because 280 ends a couple of blocks away.
  Scoble shot a picture of their new digs.
  Now, of the top publications that cover the tech industry -- TechCrunch, Mashable, GigaOm, PaidContent -- are any of them based in Silicon Valley? It's really weird, I think TC was the only one, and now they're in SF. It's something like having no country music industry pubs HQ'd in Nashville or Memphis.
  Bet they'll be going to lots of Giants games. (Let's Go Mets!)
