TechCrunch UK may still be on hold but Sam Sethi and Mike Butcher, the two ex editors, have emerged with Vecosys, a blog covering Web 2.0, mobile and new technology firms across Europe:

[…] Although we’re based in the UK, we will be covering the explosion of technology innovation happening across Europe right now. Over the coming days and weeks we will be able to say more about some of the things we have planned. Some of that will be announcing new events, partners and sponsors.

Vecosys launched with three sponsors – Accel, Olswang and 3i.

Good luck to Sam and Mike.
