It's Here, It's Here! Dealbreaker Is Here!

Even if Elizabeth Spiers was writing all the posts, and Dealbreaker had launched with a great scoop, it would be hard to attract much of an audience. There isn't much of an intersection between Wall Street and the blog audience. I have a bet with Krucoff: on day 8 of Dealbreaker, he reckons the site will be do 100,000 pageviews or more. I reckon he's forgotten to take his lithium. 10,000 pageviews would be a major accomplishment.

Honestly, these NYC media blogs are turning into one big trade association newsletter. Time to cash out, Mr. Denton.

What with that bouncey bubblehead of his, I figure "bubble" suits denton quite well. but what's with shill for yahoo? as for amateur sycophancy, i think dylan "stableford" mckay takes the cake. the sum of his editorial gloss? "Ding!"

Maybe this is the post that reveals just how tired you blogfuckers are of sucking up to one another in the form of "insults". Shameless sycophancy is the new snark!

Denton, you should really just post this stuff under your name. "Bubble" doesn't suit you.

What a ridiculously deferential review! After the PR buildup to Dealbreaker's launch, there's only one bit of news today: the site is extraordinarily amateurish. A press roundup even more boring than Gawker's. The tedious musings of a junior investment banker. A non-joke about Kravis, Icahn and Wasserstein in the announcement post. And not even a token dollop of gossip. In Wall Street lingo: Spiers' results are way short of the consensus number.

"Yes, it would seem Spiers has quite a handle on this blogging business. Who knew." Can you provide evidence of this?
