Today my first post was published on TechCrunch. There is not enough exclamation marks to put at the end of the first sentence to say how happy I am about it. It is not that with that I am launching my journalistic career. I do love blogging, although English is not my first language.

It is just that I am just great believer in the eastern European engineers and their capacity to innovate. So I think that the world should know more about what is going on in this region. Here is a link to my post ‘Eastern Europe creates waves at HackFwd event‘.

Since this post is about TechCrunch, I thought it would be useful to share this video created by another Russian blogger, Daria Batukhtina. This is a video interview with Lukas Zinnagl who writes for TechCrunch Europe (longer than me!) about how to get a post published on TechCrunch. I know less about it, as out of my three submitted posts only one was selected.
