America's first Blog mogul [updated]

"The offices of Gawker Media offer precious little sign that any work ever gets done here: three collapsed leather sofas, two laptops, a table piled with books, some dried flowers and several dozen champagne flutes appear to be the only physical attributes of Nick Denton's weblog empire," writes Edward Helmore in The Independent.

"Yet the nine internet sites that comprise Denton's Gawker Media company are among the most original and influential of their kind. Collectively and individually, they have become daily reading for New York media types [Gawker], LA film people [Defamer], Washington political junkies [Wonkette], computer gamers [Kotaku], gear-heads [Jalopnik] and gadget freaks [Gizmodo] as well as "enthusiasts" of pornography" [Fleshbot]."
