the startup party is over. i really doubt HN will take off. but then again, most people here don't want that anyway.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe Giz, but it eats up a lot of time though. I should just finish out my web apps. Already hearing some sites that need writers to establish themselves as the next VW.
Wait, meaning other sites are trying, or other sites are writing you asking for you on their staff?
Valleywag I was never fond of: it, along with Gawker, always seemed too deliberately nasty, without ever really being interesting. It's a shame about the Consumerist, though. It had some excellent articles. Still does, on occasion.
Well said. I have nothing against tabloids per se, but I always felt that they just didn't know how to do it properly, or that the tabloid practice applied to tech scene didn't work that well. I don't miss them...
Most of the time they were just picking really petty things to complain about, trying to turn it into a controversy.
Maybe now that it's just a column on Gawker the signal-noise ratio will increase (hopefully they'll offer a Valleywag-only RSS feed... I don't care much for the rest of Gawker)
Nooo..... I actually like valleywag :( Sure it was nasty, and it was gossipy, and not journalism at all, but it was a lot more frank and honest than a bunch of other tech. blogs out there.
The Wag will be missed.

I don't think the startup party is over: I think the tourists have gone home. HN has taken off as an extremely useful community for serious entrepreneurs. And based on the vast majority of submissions and comments that I read, "most people here" want serious conversation.
All I need is a picture of a cat.
Damn, now how am I going to find out what Kevin Rose is up to?
