I think Denton yearns to escape the dreaded blog format which feels a bit old these days. It's an uphill battle because users are so use to that format, yet I feel it's a war worth fighting even if Gawker didn't win this battle. Right now Dave Winer is talking about the need to reinvent the blog and I think he's on the right track (you also see a similar thing going on at sbnation which will be getting into tech). If you're looking for an opportunity don't assume that wordpress or even tumblr have to dominate the world (this was the mistake that movable type made).
