Gawker grows, launches new blogs

| | Comments (0)

Papa Denton's at Gawker's got some brand new blogs-- Gina Trapani's Lifehacker (I dig her scribbling.net), focused on technology(download recommendations and content about spam filters, virus killers, spyware, search engines, e-mail applications, Internet phones, and general productivity tips)--sounds like it's going after the boingboing crowd--which would be most of us.
And Gridskipper, an urban travel blog (?) written by Andrew Krukoff, one of those I will read anything he's written NYC guys who've written for both Gawker and Gothamist--and who is a wonderful writer with a good sense of humor.
Oh, and they've got advertisers--Sony Electronics will sponsor Lifehacker, while Cheaptickets will likely sponsor Gridskipper.
And Steve Rubel got quoted.

Update: Sony's paying $25,000 a month for placements on Lifehacker and Gizmondo, says Ad Age (reg. required.)
