[edit] shameless promo piece
Pathetic attempt to gain credibility, is every person whose worked on the Deaspin/Gawker online rages getting an article? -Peakdetector

[edit] article split?
This article should be split into Gawker.com and Gawker Media articles. It's very confusing as it is, particularly because article pages for other sites in the gawker network (i.e. Gizmodo) redirect here. --DDG 15:54, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, there already is a separate Gawker Media article. It seems the Gizmodo redirect should go there, not the Gawker.com article. Ytny 19:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

- Ahh ok. Then also the things like the profit for all of Gawker Media should be moved there. --DDG 19:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it appears that the New York Magazine article strictly deals with Gawker.com, not GM as a whole.
- What really got Hauslaib’s attention, though, was Gawker’s advertising-rate sheet. According to Denton, the site received about 200,000 “page views” a day from readers. The site ran roughly two big ads on each page, and Gawker said that it charged advertisers $6 to $10 for every 1,000 page views—almost the same as a midsize newspaper.
Though I do think the revenue stuff is just as appropriate in GM article, as it speaks more about the GM's business model rather than Gawker.com's editorial content. Maybe the GM article needs a section on the business model? Ytny 20:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] similar blogs
The entry lists that Gawker spawned three other similar blogs, but Gawker Media now consists of well more than 4 total blogs. Are the three listed in this article (Defamer, Wonkette and Valleywag) distinguished because they are more or less regionally focused versus other blogs (idolator, jalopnik, for instance) which are not tied to a particular location?
