Moving Forward
I’ve had a lot of amazing opportunities in my life so far, and I thank many people for where I’ve come today — my family, my friends, and especially Robert Scoble — but there are some opportunities too good to say no to.
Starting Monday (tomorrow), I’ll be joining TechCrunch working on events, conferences and business development with Asad Akbar (Events Director) and Heather Harde (CEO). I’ve been friends with TechCrunch for some time now, and have been working from their new Palo Alto office time to time on my projects (Qik and Teens in Tech), and have been looking into other routes to follow in my life.
I’m excited to be joining TechCrunch considering first and foremost, I was a blogger, and that environment is what I love. I’ll be joining an amazing group of individuals whose writing is all over the internet. I’m sure a lot of you are probably thinking – what’s going to happen with Qik? Don’t worry, I’m not leaving Qik. Both Qik and TechCrunch are part time jobs, and I’ll be able to work both.
I just want to thank Michael Arrington and Heather Harde for this amazing opportunity at TechCrunch, and for all the people involved. Look out TechCrunch — here comes Daniel!
Hi Daniel,
I just happened to hit Twitter.com right after you posted this there…so let me be the first to congratulate you!

Congrats Daniel! This will be awesome for you, and the experience you’ll get with the TC team will be unparalleled.
Good luck with it.
Congrats! Btw, what going to happen to Teens in Tech?
Thanks! Nothing is going to happen to Teens in Tech, nor Qik. Everything stays the same, which is the best part.
Congrats, Daniel! Great news for both of you!!!
Congrats! This is really great news!
Thanks everyone! I’m super excited to be joining TechCrunch!
Congrats Man! Normally I would just DM you, but this will be a public congrats!

Congrats Daniel! I know you’ll make the most of this opportunity- onwards & upwards
Wow! Congratulations Daniel! This really is an awesome opportunity. Put in a good word to Arrington for me!
Congrats Daniel, you greatly deserve it!
Welcome aboard Daniel. I look forward to seeing you in the office when I’m occasionally there.
Thanks, MG! Looking forward to working with you.
Many congrats to you Daniel! You are quite the inspiration.
So does this mean it will be easier for us to get a TechCrunch article in the future? Hahaha just kidding buddy, congrats and look forward to seeing what is next in your life.
Haha, not up to me
Congrats dude, it is amazing to see someone accomplish as much as you have at such a young age. What is your secret!
If I knew my secret, I would tell people… right
Congrats! Great accomplishment bud.
Congrats Daniel, but aren’t you stretching yourself a bit thin?
One word of advice; enjoy youth, but balance all the opportunities that come your way.
I wish you much success and appreciate your contributions to the Tech industry.
I considered that when I accepted the job, but jobs come and go, but TechCrunch is a job you can’t say no to, especially if you’ve been reading it for 3+ years.
Daniel, congratulations! Great chance to be involved with very worthwhile people and events. Ho! Chris
