My first YM reblog!

youngmanhattanite:

The comments group, Mr. Denton wrote in an instant message, is “like the effort to create a New York nightlife institution. Invite in too many people, and the cool kids will move on. You want them to bring their friends, but not too many of them.” Nick Denton was building a media elite for the electronic age, as he has for two decades.

Don’t know if you’d call them the “good” old days, but they’re certainly old.

I feel the same way about an ancient right-leaning political bulletin board (!) I used to frequent, right on the cusp of the A. Sullivan / Instapundit politi-blog moment. Membership was free and open, but sacrosanct, and we all knew we were starring in a speciamercial (name that reference, I dare you) that had a precious, fleeting shelf life. 

RIP - Natasha and Gawker
