2. The New York Observer did an articleabout the end of blogging. It included the requisite # of quotes from Nick Denton, as well as press for his new Gawker design (which, it needs to be pointed out, actually has yet to launch). I read the article on my iPhone this am and was thinking so many things, like how this was such a non-story who’s only purpose was for traffic, or maybe a nod to...
