Yesterday TechCrunch announced that they launched their online video channel at TechCrunch.tv. If you are familiar with TechCrunch, you know they are dedicated to bringing news about different products, trends, and companies on the Internet today. TechCrunch.tv continues that effort by offering online video of interviews, events, and live streaming.

I’ve always said that .tv is synonymous with online video, and it’s great to see another example of that being true. When you watch the video below, you’ll hear some great quotes about how TechCrunch wanted to develop their own channel on the web (“not just a flip cam”) to showcase their writers, the different people who pass through their offices and their original content. Besides using a .tv site to get their online video discovered, they are also using the Ustream.tv platform for their videos – which is a .tv two-fer!

Watch the video to hear what the TechCrunch folks have planned, get a tour of their studio, and see how they occupy the online video intersection between Justin Bieber, kittens, and the iPad.
