A Blogger Mocks the Denizens of Silicon Valley

• nooron 13y ago
  I see the value in providing an alternative to press sycophancy. But Valleywag doesn't solve this problem. An alternative would include substantive long form reportage, not capsmashing screeds. They're right sometimes in identifying embedded BS in the world of startup and tech businesses. But a lot of the time all I hear is "HAH! Rich guy! What a jerk!" Like when they published an article about Larry Page's sex life. It sounded puritan and prudish and it was awful.

    ... Okay, what's this about Larry Page's sex life?

      He sleeps with a bunch of women in a fancy apartment. Some of them are important. That's the whole story. Dragged out into this shit: http://valleywag.gawker.com/google-boss-enjoys-15-mil-manhattan-sex-penthouse-909299764 http://valleywag.gawker.com/google-boss-enjoys-15-mil-manhat...

        That's about Eric Schmidt.

          Whelp, you're right. My point stands but that was stupid.

  Oh look, a news website reporting on a blogger for a news website and his feud with another news website. And they say Silicon Valley is self-absorbed. :) Talking about mocking Silicon Valley though... http://jesuschristsiliconvalley.tumblr.com http://jesuschristsiliconvalley.tumblr.com
