New Website from Nick Denton
"New Media" whiz-kid
Nick Denton has come out with a new web page: The Consumerist
Nice pithy real reviews of consumer goods and dealings with retailers.
From their website:
Welcome to the Consumerist
Welcome, internet, to The Consumerist, the latest title from Gawker Media. The Consumerist loves to shop, and is reconciled to utilities, but hates paying for shoddy products, inhumane customer support, and half-assed service.
Each week The Consumerist will guide you through the delinquencies of retail and service organizations. The Consumerist will highlight the persistent, shameless boners of modern consumerism — and the latest hot deals, discounts, and freebies around.
Join us. You’ll tell us when you’ve been royally screwed by yet another company, and we’ll channel your rage. Together we will storm the revolving doors of faceless corporations to call them naughty words for genitals, and they will begin to fear us.
The Consumerist. Capitalism is broken. We’ll help you fix it.
Nice! If it is anything like Nick's other websites, including
Gawker and
Wonkette, it will be fun to watch both the site and people's reaction to it.
