Gawker · 03/04/03 04:57PMSeven days a week the editor of Gawker, a weblog magazine, trolls through the crush of NYC media and brings the most interesting or despicable or (most likely) interestingly despicable new items to her readers' attention. With an addictively snarky tone, Gawker collects and cuts down to size the latest on urban dating rituals, gossip high and low, drugs, the literati (especially Tina Brown), and anything else that's seen as fit to print. In the ever-expanding world of blogs, this one well put together and ever-amusing merits a daily look. [Flavorpill]
