More praise for the new Valleywag
Slate press critic Jack Shafer just emailed me about the new Valleywag. When I asked him to explain exactly what he meant, Jack replied, “Denton shows his Gawkermates by example that smart is a more effective takedown agent than mean.”
Exhibit A: This morning’s item that explains how due diligence is about to get harder for tech startups. Web 2.0 startups especially. Why isn’t this on the front page of the NYT’s Business section? Or on any of the so-called business blogs? Hello? If you’re a vice president at a tech startup, or an entrepreneur with a gleam in your eye, you wouldn’t want to be caught not knowing about Sequoia when the topic inevitably comes up today. Good thing you read Valleywag.
