TechDirt! Mudslinging In Silicon Valley

Gawker Media, the blog publishing house that brought us everything from Gizmodo to Wonkette, from Defamer to Fleshbot, has launched a new blog dedicated to insider gossip in Silicon Valley. Called ValleyWag, the site is currently still finding its voice.

So far it features sundry items ranging from Googler Larry Page's lovelife to low-level insider messes at PayPal. It may be a little disjointed now, but Gawker's a professional outfit, and the tongues do tend to wag in the Bay Area, so ValleyWag will assuredly find its mark - and will no doubt break open a juicy scandal soon. Stay tuned.

And watch your back.
