Gawker Media dumps Wonkette  I missed this story completely.
Must have been the crazy Amazon thing that made me pass over
this. Gawker Media, the owner of several blogs such as the
science fiction/fantasy blog io9 and one of my favorite tech
blogs: Gizmodo, decided to sell off Idolator to Buzzne;
Gridskipper to Curbed, and Wonkette to its current manager.
Nick Denton, owner of Gawker Media, has been lauded (despite
being a prize asshole apparently) for actually making money off
of internet content when no one else has. The fact that Denton
is now selling off one of his flagship sites, Wonkette, has the
traditional media in a tizzy. After all, Wonkette gets over a
million monthly unique visitors (as a comparison, Dear Author
56,609 unique visitors in March) and if Nick Denton can’t make
money off of Wonkette, can any internet news medium?  Send to
