Wired’s, Steven Levy covers the ins and outs of the Gawker Media world, from Fleshbot to Wonkette! and everything in between. Some great items about Nick Denton’s background as a “party promoter” of sorts all the way to his CEO-ship at Moreover.
Points of major ponderance: Denton feels his stays with Moreover and First Tuesday (the party company) weren’t as great as they could have been, stating “More could have been done with them.” IMHO, the fact that Moreoever still exists at all, and the First Tuesday company was sold for $50M in various tenders, I’d say he did okay. He’s just as famous for flaming people, places, and things as his staffers are today. Bringing up his trashing of the Soho House is quite amusing and shows what he’s made of. I kind of look at it has being brash - yet very confident, for good reason.
A great read for a Thursday morning. Check it out.
