TechCrunch blog founder Michael Arrington will expand his web empire today with an enterprise blog, according to a source. TC writer Nik Cubrilovic (who also heads web startup Omnidrive) will edit the new site.
Why is it important? Because Arrington's web network (The blogs TechCrunch, CrunchGear, MobileCrunch, and TechCrunch UK; the TalkCrunch podcast; and the CrunchBoard job board) may pull just 100-150k views a day, but that's an audience of startuppers and wannabe "Web 2.0" know-it-alls. In other words, Arrington is an accidental Moses for a nation of entrepreneurs.
Or Head Lemming. Your call.

We're launching a new blog today? Sweet.
sorry, that sounds like neither 'scoop' nor 'story' but rather just feels like an ad or promotion for some other blog...
Is it a secret to anyone that the only way for crunchies to grow is through more ad sales that can only come from more page views? I wonder if Arrington will eventually become the Donald Trump of tech news - simply loaning out his name brand recognition for a cut.
