Personal blogging peaked around approximately 2005-2007 - publishers were snatching up popular bloggers for six-figure book deals (the books usually flopped), the term “mommy blogger” wobbled into our lexicons and fell asleep on our laps, faceless bloggers were exposing previously secret annals of various lifestyles (e.g., sleeping with politicians, working at Wells Fargo), and it was believed, at least in New York City, that if you wanted a career as a writer, you needed a personal blog. Univision bought Gawker Media, but declined to continue publishing, its flagship site. Gawker Media was forced into bankruptcy following a lawsuit placed by Hulk Hogan and funded by PayPal CEO Peter Thiel, who has a vendetta against the company. Welcome to the 35th “This Business of Art / Media / Web Fix,” in which I share with you things I read that I loved relating to the work I do here - online media, business, entrepreneurship, women in tech, start-ups, journalism, publishing, management, queer visibility, and so forth.
