Sprague D,
Turns out a lot of us spent too much time there.

Is this comment from Denton himself, re: The Wire, supposed to be meta-irony? “One of the characters is a familiar figure in American publishing, the corporate executive who tells his dispirited reporters to do “less with more.”"

Jeez, and I thought *I* spent too much time thinking about Gawker… Thanks for the tip. I will check in on your “expat” f*ck fest.

Um, to throw another log on the fire (in case you're interested), the regular Friday Night F*ck Fest commenter get-together has moved from the site onto my blog for now. This commenter flurry usually generated between 400 and 2000 comments and I can imagine plenty of pageviews. Even with it being moved from Gawker, they had a pretty good weekend in terms of pageviews. I think people want to come and see the trainwreck. The new FNFF is here

Rachel,

The pay terms are outlined in the Valleywag link. Even at base + per post it was a pittance.

i doubt they were getting a base plus the post fee. it’s more likely one or the other.
