My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They'll get it one day. I don't believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There's a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that. Questions, concerns, and comments can be directed to James, At-Sign Gawker, Period Com.
The Call May Not Be Coming From Inside The Building
Agreed. Junior Detective JDel points to THIS article from the UK Observer, published earlier this week, that misnames our affable Tech Guru:
Friday lunchtime and time for the weekly management meeting. Soon these will take place in the new Gawker headquarters, but for now it’s Nick and a few of the guys around the cooking island in the kitchen of his loft. Ted Plunkett, the tech guy who keeps the sites up and running, rips away at a sandwich. ‘We actually own our servers, which means we decide what stays up,’ he tells me. ‘That’s why we didn’t have to remove the Tom Cruise video. There’s no service provider telling us what to do.
What went from being a hilariously insidery look at Nick has, in my mind, become a creepy stalkerish obsession. More to come.
Still on the Fake Nick Denton Case, another day, another clue. The person who is claiming to be Nick Denton would never spell Tom Plunkett’s name wrong, as they have here.
“Ted Plunkett, the tech guy who keeps the sites up and running, rips away at a sandwich. ‘We actually own our servers, which means we decide what stays up,’ he tells me. ‘That’s why we didn’t have to remove the Tom Cruise video. There’s no service provider telling us what to do.’”
