Screenhead:Funny web shit curated by Dong Resin. Also Jalopnik, concerning cars, and Kotaku, for gamers. All your vice are belong to Nick Denton. Dot com entrepreneurialism scaled to blog size seems to be working.

It's cute, but Screenhead's just copying Blort, and a million other places. (and Gawker's gone way downhill since Choire left.)

And I muffed the Jalopnik link.

These sites are only going to be as good as the bloggers Denton picks to run them, but so far I think he's demonstrated a good eye for talent (and Choire Sicha is now his aide-de-camp). In any case, the notion of running a kind of sustainable farming version of web business is interesting. And hopefully he is setting a precedent by finding his writers online.

I was going to say this - "Ya know, for dong_resin, this seems rather lazy and derivative" - but then I noticed dong_resin is in the house, so no WAY am I gonna say that in front of him.

This is fanTAStic!!! Really!!!

Sellout! Booo! Hiss! What about the love of the game?! I'm with goneill! Dong, you're a whore.

Having said that, though, I'll give ya fiddy for a little reacharound. I kid because I seethe.
