: My blog mob leader, Nick Denton and Gawker Media, gets good press in the New York Times today where it matters: in the business section. Andrew Ross sorkin wrote a good piece. And I survived being quoted. Nick survives a lead pegged to Paris Hilton and Fleshbot.

: Other big news in the Times business section today: Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, invests untold millions in Scott Heifferman’s MeetUp.

: And Tony Perkins just can’t stay out of trouble.
