Presumably the compensation came from startups willing to pay to be featured.

I believe it was not TechCrunch staff who paid him - it was outside firms who wanted to be promoted on a high-traffic technology blog.

...how does this make sense? what outside firm was promoted on techcrunch through this news breaking?
