I predict that sooner or later there will be party that goes out of their way to look for the news that will eclipse TC.

HN could almost be that (it already is for me since I stopped reading TC) if we would stop linking to TC and instead go out and find these stories ourselves. I know that isn't as easy as it sounds, but I think we are close.

Well, in many ways the "rate my startup" posts are a smaller, more down-to-earth version of TechCrunch that actually allows you to interact with the founders of the startup and really get to know the product and the person(s) behind it. You also often get access to betas just by being part of HN.
