Here’s a fascinating interview with Gawker Media boss Nick Denton, by Greg Lindsay in Business 2.0. Even though Lindsay calls Denton a “pornographer by proxy” and judges Kinja a failure, it’s still a generally complementary piece.
Aside from that stuff- and the mention of a previously unpublicized Denton/Elizabeth Spiers feud- the piece generally follows the conventional wisdom that Jason Calacanis thinks we can all get rich from blogging but Denton isn’t so convinced. He’ll ESPECIALLY have his work cut out for him if there's any truth to those Wonkette-leaving rumors .
Anyway, I met and briefly chatted with Greg at BloggerCon, and when he had the conversation with Calacanis that’s mentioned in the piece, I was standing about two feet away.
