I can't not point out how ironic this is. In the early Vox/Verge years they couldn't spend a month without talking about their super "publishing platform"/CMS ( Chorus ) and that included video interviewing "cool" dudes at their "cool" offices at their "cool" NYC neighborhood. Now they'll be running WordPress and will be dealing with WordPress VIP.. I mean, good luck I guess. On a more positive note, this is a cycle of life. Great, genuine and honest content will always be king. Gawker, Vice, The Verge.. are going into irrelevancy just like everybody else as times change and the ones with talent, drive and work ethic will have their place even if running just a Perl script or some weird Lisp beige site.
