Valleywag

Blog | Independent

Valleywag is a Gawker Media blog with gossip and news about Silicon Valley personalities. It was initially launched under the direction of editor Nick Douglas in February 2006; after Douglas was fired[1] the blog was taken over by Owen Thomas. It has broken some stories, such as the leaking of a Gene Simmons sex tape.[2] However, it has been criticized for broadcasting unsubstantiated and damaging gossip about people who are not in the public eye[3], such as a college intern who falsely called in sick to work and had it publicized across the Internet by Valleywag.[4] More » (Source: wikipedia)
