T/S: Defamer v. Gawker

its possible the splash stories that get posted as roundups

so its not actually a duplicate post but a roundup post that has the same headline and splash photo

i'm having an issue with the blog view too. so i scroll down and look through all the stories on the left column, until eventually it gives me a "next page" button. but when i click it, it pulls up a page of older stories, completely skipping over a whole bunch of new content that i know exists because it's listed in the right column.

oh except now i went back to verify that i was looking at the blog view (i was), and i switched from "Blog View" to "Top News" to "Blog View" again, and now the left column has cut off like six of the top stories and is loading at some strange midpoint of the list.

do you have adblock on?

no, i'm on opera.

was gonna mention this
no-one in the uk visiting gawker dot com wants to read uk-centric stories from gawker imo
uk focus ... denied

it seems to have stopped doing that coz it was retarded

im usually knee-jerky about redesigns but anyway, i don't like new-look gawker

not enough information about the stories now, and the scrolling situation is still sub-optimal

If you want [a fast] way to cool a cup of coffee...pour the top part of it from the cup into a saucer, and then back again a few times. The large and constantly changing surface area during this process will cause extremely rapid evaporation of those high-energy outliers, much faster than stirring.

According to Solsano, DJ Paulie D is pulling down $50,000 a gig to play his beat-laden brand of house music.

max you convinced nick denton to replace that w/ a public transit blog, right??

the few comments on that really don't seem to care, does anyone actually read that blog? I don't understand blog economics

haha you really dropped the ball didnt you

pitchfork is having fun today too, they gave that terrible bibio album a 6.9

don't rub it in, max

new redesign is really nice, except for the part where the byline is 5% darker than the background of the page

i find the articles scroll-bar a little narrow. there i've said it.

gawker's coverage of groupon has gotten so bizarre

savage the company incessantly for months, republish a multiple thousand word story about how groupon has made it thru the rough times and is really going to be profitable and that the CEO is actually pretty nice and okay to work with and then not less than 24 hours later run a story titled "who the hell is going to invest in groupon"

v schizo
