I don't care what anyone says. RSS feeds are the bomb-dot-com. They filter out the garbage and look legit at work!

On New Seating Chart: Where Your Favorite Gawker Employee Sits
Is it ironic that this looks like a high school cafeteria? Is there a popular table?

On Matt Cherette Is Going To Move To New York City
Did it occur to some of you cranks that, rather than writing about Gawker as a favor, The Awl wrote something Gawker-related because readers have asked for it? I know I have - and I have zero connection to New York or media.
I'd read a tell-all, in any format, about Gawker for the same reasons I would read a book about working for Playboy magazine in the 1960s. Can you think of another relevant publication that has nurtured (well, hired and paid) and exposed this much new writing/editing talent in the past decade? Not to mention Gawker's control-freak tendencies when it comes to any coverage it gets. You'd be a damn fool to have a first-hand perspective on the inner workings of a company like Gawker and not utilize it when looking for topics to cover. Especially when you're writing for a blog that covers media. Doy.
Give Awl readers some credit. We all know about 'legacy' issues. Many of us came to the Awl because of them. That's a big part of why many of us love it - and/or why so many of us comment on Gawker-related content. It's fascinating.

J schools would be in better shape if their curricula actually looked like this. Sad.
