Quick correction: Nick Douglas edits Valleywag; Nick Denton founded the company!

Gina beat me to it. Look, you can all call me "Mr. Awesome" if this stops the confusion.

Thanks guys, corrected. Funny 'cause I actually corrected others to this error before and I knew the difference, but this was my off-by-one error :)

"On average I think they’re doing a much better job than say Weblogs, Inc., which focuses on quantity (and heavy cross-linking) over quality."

And that was precisely what I HATED about working for Weblogs, Inc.

I'd much rather read (and write!) a blog with 2 or 3 high quality articles a day than a dozen insubstantial tidbits.

yeah it's true for the most part about the weblogsinc/gawker divide in the few areas where they overlap. However, Engadget is the #1 tech blog, gizmodo is definitely not.

Engadget is a cool blog, no doubt about that.
