The Ralph Nader of Gawker Sites Could Be Yours

November 13, 2008 By David Burn

Nick Denton’s consumer advocacy site, The Consumerist, is for sale.

Economic times being what they are, Gawker must refocus its efforts on its most commercially successful blogs. Which means, yes, The Consumerist is for sale. We seek a new home where our kickass blogging team can continue to thrive and grow. We get 14m+ pageviews according to Sitemeter, and 2m+ uniques according to Quantcast. Direct inquiries to [email protected]

Damn, that was a fast business cycle. It was just a few years ago that Consumerist editor, Ben Popken, was asking AdPulp readers to comment on his book.
I’ll be interested to see where this goes.
