    Everybody Catfighting to Compete with Jezebel

    You know you've made it when everybody a.) thinks they can do a better job than you, and b.) thinks they can make money off competing for your business! So congratulations, Jezebel. Not only is former Gawker ed Elizabeth Spiers describing her forthcoming ladysite as a Jezebel-ish incarnation, but Alley Insider reports that Slate is hiring for a Jezebel competitor. Their predicted assessment of the site's direction is fairly apt: "600-word what-everyone-thinks-is-wrong articles and their close cousin, what-everyone-thinks-is-right-but-not-for-the-reasons-everyone-thinks." Only for ladies. But don't worry, future girlblogs: there are plenty of hysterical commenters to go around.
