Cashing in
TechCrunch up and sold itself to AOL, to become part of AOL's online news empire. You could read the post founder Michael Arrington wrote about the deal, but it's probably more fun to listen to the song that a reader submitted.

In fact, we even post to correspond to meal times, and refer to times of day by their dining opportunity (you're reading "the early bird special" right now; Zack Seward's post earlier today was "second breakfast"). So it's with great pleasure that we present you with this list of apps for eating around the globe, via Mashable. Nom nom nom!
