News today that TechCrunch UK launched:

I am pleased to announce our latest Crunch Network blog - TechCrunch UK - which launched moments ago.

TechCrunch UK is obviously not a translated blog like TechCrunch France and TechCrunch Japan (although both of these blogs have lots of original content as well). Instead, TechCrunch UK is all about UK based and/or focused startups. Many of these startups are written about on TechCrunch, but quite a few either are too early or aren’t necessarily of interest to the main TechCrunch audience. TechCrunch UK is a place to read about these companies, and I look forward to many of them also eventually being profiled here at the main TechCrunch site.
