Nick Denton’s latest blog creation, Valleywag, is a tech gossip rag. The site’s welcome message: “You people in Silicon Valley are far too busy changing the world to care about sex, greed and hypocrisy. But if you ever need a break, come visit us at Valleywag.”
They’re off to an impressive start. Take a look at these Alexa stats, keeping in mind that Boing Boing, which has been running strong for years, is #1 on Technorati’s list of popular blogs (the service now claims to track 27.3 million blogs). Gawker is #20. TechCrunch, which is read religiously by just about everyone interested in new internet applications, is #44 (A Venture Forth is hanging in at #3,570).
Valleywag launched just last month. Looks like people want their Silicon Valley gossip.
But blogs have nothing on MySpace…
One could argue that both Technorati’s popularity index and Alexa’s traffic charts are flawed. Even if so, it looks like Denton has a winner. By the way, Valleywag’s actual traffic stats are public, so take a look for yourself.
Update: Fred Wilson doesn’t like Valleywag.
