Nick Denton Interview hw 14

“Take and obsession, then feed it” was an interesting interview to read. Despite the fact that Nick Denton the interviewee is not actually a blogger it was very compelling. Actually, Nick is in charge of popular blogs like Gawker and Wonkette. Furthermore, I found what Nick say’s about unknown writers to be very true. Likewise, I like how he makes the comparison that you can’t turn a journalist into a screenwriter. He says there are mediocre people who end up getting amazing jobs and there are talented people who don’t. Blogs give these amazing writers jobs. Nonetheless, a blogger can not always be a journalist, it goes both ways. In addition, I found it shocking that Nick’s site are growing at about 20 percent a month. In other words, in the next five years blogs will have a larger impact on our society. As a result, more people will be looking at web blogs, creating them, and going on them. In short, everything about blogging is growing. Hence, the business that Nick Denton is running today.

Good, this is a real "transitionarama," as the assignment required.
In-text citations giving the page number and author of the facts from the Denton article which you mention would be a good addition.
