How often do TechCrunch posts pertain to Twitter?

I too was curious, so I decided to find out. Clearly 2009 has been "The Year of Twitter" both in national press as well as TC's. What is also interesting (and a fact you may find in many a comment on such a post) is that MG Siegler is by far the top poster on Twitter related topics. Just in 2009 he has posted nearly 28% of Twitter posts from the beginning.

The data was all gathered from http://www.crunchbase.com/company/twitter/posts.

Of course it was all manually scraped and put in the proper format. I'd love to get access to all of their data and see who tends to post about what, at what times, what days of the week, etc. Sometimes it's disturbing that mere data like this is "cool" to me.
