Gawker
Fact: There is more crap in the blogosphere than in the Ganges River, but in amongst all the self-indulgent diatribes you will find a few pearls, shining like…pearls. GAWKER is not only one of the shiniest pearls, it is also one of the biggest because every day millions upon millions of people (most of whom we can only presume are bored with their jobs in Manhattan) log on to get a fix of intelligent gossip and some mild mannered slander.
In the media world they say that content is king, but realistically everyone from NEW IDEA to the Left-handed Lesbian Weekly draws from the same shallow puddle of mal-adjusted celebrity behaviour – what makes GAWKER stand above the rest is its caustic tone and cheeky tip toeing around the laws of defamation. We suggest you join in the dance by logging on regularly – if nothing else it’s a great way to make you wish you lived in Manhattan.
