Blog Hall of Mirrors

Former Gawker hackette and veteran blogger (at 26) Emily Gould described (in eye-watering detail) the risks inherent in blogging about your personal life in a fascinating recent cover story for the New York Times magazine. Gould’s piece predictably prompted a wave of keyboard-clattering from the Manhattan media bubble's finest, but also won her an impressive – and, I think, well-deserved - book deal. This week she hit back at her haters in a piece on her blog entitled ‘How the Emily Gould Gossip Sausage Gets Made’. I have never come across a better illustration of the hall-of-mirrors nature of the blogosphere... Mad dogs barking at each other in a paddling pool. Or as EG puts it people "who have been in the machine too long".
