People love to dog on J.C., but I having worked for him at Silicon Alley Reporter during the heady days of 1998-2000, I have to say that he was one of the most generous and loyal bosses I've had.

Stop hatin'!

Fatblogging infatuation is chock-a-block full of potential growth, engagement, and monetization.

Tony Robbins, eat your heart out (I hear its healthy and lean protein)!

@ellagood: Yes!

And the reason there aren't more A-list female bloggers is because blogs emerged from tech and the tech power structure is overwhelmingly male. The actual majority of bloggers are now female.

Where's the part about the Nigerian doctor who is holding $18,000,000 that he will share with me if I only give up my bank account numbers?

Veronica: are you saying that people who wrote for Suck.com like AMC were anything more than "web 1.0 famous" or something to that effect?

As someone who has been *both* Web 1.0 famous AND blog famous I can tell you it means exactly nothing unless you're at the Magician, the web 2.0 conference, or a starbucks in SF/Palo Alto.

That being said, if you PayPal me $1,000 today I'll give you 14 steps that will get you a blog post on Gawker, Valleywag, and digg--in the same week!

Possibly the best Gawker post I've read to this day. Nice one, Balk. Also, have you seen the fake Calacanis account on Twitter? Hilarious!

Who ever heard of Wonkette before wonkette?!?! no one.

Are you fucking shitting me?

AND: Are there really only four female A-list bloggers (including Xeni, excluding Perez) out there who managed to crawl out of obscurity? So Jason, that must mean that women don't, like, have something intelligent to say or contribute anything meaningful.

Christ, what an asshole.

In the vaunted world of stealing credit for everyone else's ideas, the parallels between Calacanis and Khalid Sheik Mohammed are too rich to ignore.

I would just like to add that impossible is nothing, and that you should never let people hold you back. If someone tries to tell you that you can't be an A-list blogger cross them out of your life--never speak to them again.

It will also help if you keep yourself physically fit--a strong body equals a strong blog post.

best regards,

Looks like he's checking out her rack to see if she's 'vlog worthy'.

She looks like she's being paid to look interested.
