At Gawker Media’s offices in Manhattan, a flat-screen television mounted on the wall displays the 10 most-viewed articles across all Gawker’s Web sites. The author’s last name, along with the number of page views that hour and over all are prominently shown in real time on the screen, which Gawker has named the “big board.”

“Sometimes one sees writers just standing before it, like early hominids in front of a monolith,” said Nick Denton, Gawker Media’s founder.

Quilt 08/23/10
The explanation on some of these jokes are not only bad, but they kind of miss the point of the jokes.

http://i36.tinypic.com/demuw.png

noble effort but the explaining jokes joke never really works :/

cant really tell whos joking about what

the joke's on us

i think dorothy parker can rest easy

btw max i watched that arcade fire website and it was not that good really

you write for the audience you have not the audience you want

lol

is there a field guide to all the gawker subboards

Still not sure it's not just a SEO maximization scheme

"disputations" is the most important one

disappointed that cheese sandwich did not link to my ilx thread, surely the definitive discussion of the topic

damn nev schulman, you fucked up

Hey Max - I wound up reading this article today http://gawker.com/freejahar-when-conspiracy-theorists-and-one-direction-478152664 and was p weirded out to realize that I used to work with that small-time rapper/friend of Tsarnaev. It was at that youth center place like 5 years ago. I kept trying to figure out why I knew his name and then it hit me. Weird.

Wait let me clarify - I worked with that dude's MOM not the rapper guy himself. Still weird.

i went deep on kinja http://joe-sch.kinja.com/kinja-design-review-industry-thinkpiece-shared-via-ki-1679105102

nice

i read the thing by max about NEWS FEED and those changes but now i've forgotten how i'm supposed to read it differently and i'm just reading gawker as per uje but it says NEWS FEED everywhere

ur doing it right i think

k cool

nice analysis, joe

i would have left a comment but i don't want to sign up for kinja

hah thx

shoulda been harsher imo (except for to slocki)

a dog is nabisco, everyone knows that

shh

i was just making a lil joke abt slocki amazing site obvs

i know

*lil punch to chin*

aw

no longer says NEWS FEED everywhere but now every post on the front page says it's by Max Read and 100 other people, kinda disorienting & the formatting is weird

Haven't visited the front page since 2014

what do you do instead?

oh, lol

http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/312743/nick-denton-wants-to-reach-more-conservatives/#.VLflPQSUtH8.facebook

Let’s welcome, if not out-and-out racists, then at least the wide array of people with whom a conversation is possible: national greatness conservatives, Burkean Tories and business pragmatists, for instance; Christians and other spiritual people; economic liberals, libertarians and techno-utopians; and black and other social conservatives.

frankly i think he'd have better luck with out-and-out racists than the rest of those people

i wld be interested in just from a uh academic pov seeing a bunch of liberal journalists try to reverse engineer the conservative mind

maybe par33n3's first prank will be to make the whole site conservative

tho i wld argue if they cant catch the suns who they are 3.5 games behind they prob didnt have a v good chance of winning it anyway

oops

TKTK is my favorite blog name in a long time

gawker > coca-cola

so sad this global corporation's ascii art was prevented from making the internet a nicer place

lot of negativity on the net

watching people defend coke is nausteating

fyi i wouldve written you a piece about winning magic tournaments you just had to ask

write one for awl

gawker media should hire lagoon as their digital prophet imo

i tried to get max to do that and he was all "im not in charge of that" smh

i met denton one time, i'll put in a good word for u if i ever get a 2nd time

thx man

a thousand per cent.

congratulations to the staff of gawker

yes very nice

good luck, boy slaves of denton
