[...] Naturally, a gaggle of tech blogs are salivating at the news. “Valleywag, now with less wag,” quipped Good Morning Silicon Valley. “Word is,” whispered Venture Beat , “Wired is looking at him, for potential hire.” SiliconValley Watcher, for its part was magnanimous toward the axed editor: “Nick Douglas did a fine job with ValleyWag although by the time he left he had burnt quite a few bridges/contacts.” One thought for publisher Denton: maybe the reason Valleywag has not commanded quite the mindshare of the other Gawker properties is simply that the supply of tech blogs far outstrips the demand… [...]

Guy, (my brother’s name too),
VW was also my first place to go in the morning; it won’t be anymore. Nick – do your own thing! You have the ready-made following. I’ll click an ad or two for you.

Greg,

You are right, he was young, a bit sloppy, fearless and kinda had a ‘don’t give a shit’ attitude which is why he was so great. valleywag used to be the first place i went to in the morning and now it just won’t/can’t be the same. sounds like those frickin morons at gawker canned him. chalk that up there with semel bringing tom cruise to work. denton blew it.

Yup, as founding editor, he was indeed THE site. No matter what else he does, he should immediately start his own gossip blog and take his audience with him. Yes, he’s young and a bit sloppy in his reporting, but hey, it’s just a blog afterall

“Man.Â Nick WAS that site to me.”

Seeing as he provided almost all the content, Nick was the site, period. If you get rid of Nick, change the editorial policy and even change the layout, the only link the new Valleywag has left to the old is the URL.

Denton has a big job ahead of him building what is effectively an entirely new site, and the only thing he has going for him are the residual eyeballs from the old site… who went there because they liked what Nick Douglas was doing.

Man. Nick WAS that site to me. Funny, totally fearless, mean and nice at the same time. I’m not sure what’ll happen. But wherever Nick goes, I’ll sure read him.
