World awaits new Arrington blog, prays TechCrunch will survive without him

Michael Arrington has made it official — with a tweet — that he will soon launch his new personal blog. And now an anxious world awaits the new Arrington mega-blog and prays that TechCrunch can survive without him. (Above: One of the makers of CLOO, a new iPhone app, and fellow startup creators, their heads marked with a T for TechCrunch, pray before a statue of Arrington during the blog's popular Disrupt conference in San Francisco earlier this week.)
