Defamer gets my vote - more celeb cattiness, less publishing business cattiness.

If you leave the Defamer Media sphere, gofugyourself is the clear winner.

Defamer. Though I am bummed they just introduced a "comments" section. I think the guy who runs the site is one of the few genuinely smart and witty entertainment bloggers and I think he's more than capable of carrying the site himself.

A B C, Saturday, 22 March 2008 21:41 (5 years ago) Permalink

jezebel is bad, but i like the sephora column they have sometimes.

every time i check in on gawker they are talking about some julia allison person or the stars of "the hills" and i don't understand why i am supposed to care.

OK, not to get all bell_labsish, but I'm a little sick of the American Idol coverage on Idolator.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 22 March 2008 21:58 (5 years ago) Permalink

sometimes i'll see an interstin piece and find out it's from some gawker blog and go 'huh maybe i should subscribe' and then i do and my rss feed is turned into a garbage disposal.

this excludes idolator of course. idolator is usually pretty awesome.

Idolator: because people entering their 30s have opinions about music as well.

okay, weird question here, but is Gawker...unreachable for anyone else? as in, for the past three days, both the updated Safari and Firefox have simply dropped the connection when I've tried to get to Gawker. i don't really need my ridiculous celebrity gossip, but come on.

yeah tech issues, denton posted about it at some point when the site was still running..

best website on the internet?

kshighway (ksh), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

as opposed to websites that you view on webtv...

nagl wayne (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

i was more curious why you think it's the best website on the internet!

kshighway (ksh), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:18 (3 years ago) Permalink

a synthesis of interesting stories/links, have been able to write about gossip & hard news w/o damaging their reputation on either subject (can't think of another news source that can say the same), good writers, easy to nav site, constantly updated etc

nagl wayne (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:22 (3 years ago) Permalink

and i say "pound-for-pound" because if you left me with only one web site to use (email aside) i would choose twitter or ilx but there's obv a worse wheat/chaff ratio than with gawker

nagl wayne (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:23 (3 years ago) Permalink

so would you say like 6-8 pounds

max, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:28 (3 years ago) Permalink

that makes sense, J0rdan. since i noticed ilx seems to like Gawker so much i've been reading it more to see what's up, and i think it's generally pretty good.

i think it looks fine, i just love the gawker layout that allows you to read every post w/o having to open new tabs and/or click the back button

A$AP Rovi (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 28 March 2013 21:12 (1 month ago) Permalink

also i think it's kinda weird that they made HUGE PHOTOS the emphasis of the new layout but then made it so the photos are covered in black dots

A$AP Rovi (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 28 March 2013 21:13 (1 month ago) Permalink

huge photos tiny text blocks is terrible design
side-panel w/ other stories was great for navigation, I'm not going to scroll backward in Gawker Media's timeline like some tumblr-using savage

http://www.thespec.com/news-story/2526042-sarah-thomson-offers-no-proof-to-back-rob-ford-cocaine-speculation/

“I looked up (Ford’s) symptoms and it looked like it was cocaine use. It could have been anything like that. I’m not sure what it is,” Thomson said Monday on Toronto radio station KiSS 92.5.

“I don’t have actual proof, it’s just based on the symptoms,” Thomson said. “And the symptoms I’ve read on cocaine seem to fit.”

She said Ford had been behaving in an “erratic” manner and that her Internet search also suggested his behaviour could be attributable to diabetes.
