Gawker

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


After two long, dry months of waiting, our thirst has been quenched: Gawker alum Elizabeth Spiers launches Dealbreaker, her Wall Street blog, today. The initial report? Morning roundups, amusing eBay finds, Scientology, a columnist named Muffie — the usual. It's expectedly witty in a financial sort of way (knowing little to nothing about finance, we're just assuming that "sort of way" exists).

Yes, it would seem Spiers has quite a handle on this blogging business. Who knew.

  • The site mascot is The Joker?

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

  • i find it kind of lame. and i work in finance, too.

  • oh, and by the way, remember that whole office pirates thing...that was cool

  • Ninjas can kick the crap out of pirates.

  • 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.

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

  • 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!

  • 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!"

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

  • 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.
