Puget Sound Business Journal Launches TechFlash Site with Cook, Bishop

Gregory T. Huang 10/22/08

Where are John and Todd? A month after Luke reported that venerable Seattle tech reporters John Cook and Todd Bishop left the Seattle P-I for new roles at the Puget Sound Business Journal, they have officially surfaced today at a new website, called TechFlash. Billed as “Seattle’s technology news source,” TechFlash will offer breaking news and analysis on the Northwest’s tech industry—from startups and investors to big companies—as well as guest columnists and interactive features.

The TechFlash site, which is run by the Business Journal, is now in beta. Senior tech reporter Eric Engleman of the Business Journal will also contribute to the site. Among its inaugural posts are a story about Bill Gates’s new holdings company (with the awful name of bgC3), and a report about a closed-door meeting held at Seattle’s Madrona Venture Group to address the economic crisis. Congratulations on the launch, gentlemen—we’ll see you out there.
