oh. it's jsut so wild though. i didn't realize that, when i saw all
these bloggers pointing at jezebel, it was a gawker platform. (i
didn't bother to click the link and read). so, now gawker can just do,
what is it?, vertical marketing -- drilling down in each online
demographic category.  people orient themselves to the top dog and
they keep linking and linking and linking. top dogs make all the cash,
little dogs keep trying. meanwhile, dilution for the rest. not that
anyone was really listening. oh, and the blood that will be drawn.

i need some more popcorn and snowcaps.
