That's always been my test for what makes a story: is this something journalists would gossip with each other about?

Jonah Peretti is one of the smartest web publishers out there. And Buzzfeed is an aggressive and dynamic company.

Forget about someone's resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog or not? The blog doesn't lie.

Henry Blodget does occasionally have a new idea. If you're making a point about aggregation or the emptiness of modern journalism, he's far from the best target. Try Huffpo - or Gawker writers whose souls have been corroded by irony.

Superior writers, videographers and other content makers want to work with their own kind and for their own kind.
