One of the most in-depth write-ups I've seen on YC anywhere on the web.

I'm impressed with The Next Web.

I hadn't heard much about them before last week - when we launched http://lanyrd.com/ on TechCrunch they conducted an interview with us that same day (through olark, our live-help chat widget) and posted their own story, which was well written and had new information not covered by the TC story: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/01/31/lanyrd-launches-to-cha...

The Harj interview series has been excellent too.

Yes, although I found the formatting somewhat annoying. It's basically an interview, so rather than trying to make it prose or an "article", with quotes and explanatory text, a simpler interview format would have been much easier to read:

  TheNextWeb: Blah blah blah?
  Harj: Foo bar baz.

Also there are a number of spelling/grammar mistakes. I think it's normally common practice to correct these in an article, unless you're really just delivering a prepared statement verbatim.
