The name-dropping is out of control. Arriana Huffington seems to think that this fatuous drek is…what? Interesting? Insightful? It’d be a good script for a Woody Allen movie, she thinks her every observation — the waiters wore black! black I tell you! — is worth expressing even as it demonstrates she has nothing to say, except that Nick Denton is, like, you know, sooo cool.

She closes with what she must think is a redeeming mote of substance: “Maybe who gets it [Meaning the “blogosphere” or the “internet”] and who doesn’t will determine who survives and flourishes in the brave new world and who goes the way of the T-Rex, the Dodo bird, and the 8-track.”

Oh my goodness, what evocative and original writing! The Dodo bird and the T-Rex? Why, yes, they are extinct. I get it! That’s a metaphor. And the insight seems to be that there’s a new media out there and the old media is in trouble. I don’t think any blogger has ever made that point before. We get to find out a media executive threw a party where the waiters wore black and we learn that the New Media is a threat to the MSM. What an embarrassment of riches. Hie thee to thy bookmark macros, this woman’s a keeper!
