Valleywag is mostly puff pieces. I guess they're writing about people who, for one reason or another, they don't want to offend. Typical of business press. Don't screw your sources or else they'll dry up. Don't speak ill of Steve Jobs or else no cover picture for you. So, it's reasonable to conclude -- if you read something unbelievably nice about someone in Valleywag, that person is a source. Thing is, they're reduced to attacking about five people. And the flow is miniscule. A pointer from VW is worth about 20 hits. In other words, hire a business reporter to do VW, and you get Infoworld, about 25 years too late.

HOLLYWOOD - Before kicking off a weekly staff meeting, Amy Rhodes greets her boss, Chris Henchy, as he takes his seat at a small conference table. "Wow, it's the first time in ages you haven't been drunk," she deadpans. Henchy raises an eyebrow and his coffee in a mock toast as the assembled gang cracks up. Nearby hangs a framed poster of a grade-school student cringing under a big headline, "Teasing Hurts!"
