@downwithmonstercable: Should've looked more closely first, looks like a pull from all sites.
huzzah
What, no updates from Fleshbot? I feel ripped off.
What? No input from Fleshbot? Tsk.
@RandomHookup: I can handle a deep depression, but I don't even want to know about the depreciation of T and the inflation of A.
is there an rss feed for economy.consumerist?
@KyleOrton: See, I think Fleshbot would be all about the inflation of T. Personally, that's one kind of inflation I can get behind.
Fleshbot's contribution to this would probably be photoshopped pics of Maria Bartrilomo.
neat idea for cross-marketing...not interested in signing up for accts gawker-wide to comment though.
@mac-phisto: You dont have to. your name is registered everywhere, just login.
You can see hate for bladefist gawker-wide.
@Bladefist: And your Gawker Media commenter account still works at Idolator, which was cast off awhile ago.
Great idea. Create a new site after you fire half your writing staff.
Makes sense to me!
1. add RSS to it please :) cause now the RSS button just redirects back to site, as no xml available 2. where's a link to go back to "normal" consumerist? I had to actually correct the "economy" to "www" manually :)
Awesome! One stop pants-crapping!
@Bladefist: yeah, but i'd have to login. i was about to comment on a gizmodo story today, but then the "who are you?" box appeared. sigh. i've had to login 3 times today already.
consumerist. lifehacker. jalopnik. that's it. i swear. especially after the layoffs.
We don't think @IrvCrapper: We have to let people go, b/c we don't think we will have as much revenue due to the bank problems. Speaking of which, we need your now limited staff to fully cover the bank problems. And we need you to come in on Saturday. Yeahhhhhhh.
Well, if it helps you guys stay in business and hire more writers I'm all for it, but I for one will not be checking this out. Its just another attempt at getting ad revenue by leveraging existing content.
If I wanted to read the content of these other Gawker properties, I would have subscribed to their feeds already.
WHAT?! No Fleshbot Economic crisis news?! Surely the shrink ray has hit bottles of lotion sizes!
@Ben Popken: Yarb, please do. RSS feeds are the sheeeeeit (to quote Clay Davis).
Also, The Wire rules.
Does that mean that Carey and Chris are rehired?
Is it basically a pull of all finance/economy related stories from all the Gawker sites, or are these unique articles?
