Subject: Gawker's greatest moments

Hey everyone,

I need to draw upon your collective institutional memory for an oral history: What do you think of as Gawker's greatest moments? —

Something in the vein of:

  • Gawker vs. Reddit
  • Gawker vs. 4Chan
  • Any key moments shaping the ethos of the "Gawker Tax" (links to posts that alienated advertisers that we let stand + some insider info would be helpful)
  • Memos like this: http://jimromenesko.com/2012/05/10/nic…
  • Our impressive alumni (not a 'moment,' but still...)
  • Other important stories we broke and their impact?

Just literally anything that has happened on our site, within the organization, or in the press that you think of as a win for team Gawker would be great. Before your time is welcome too!

If you have time today or tomorrow, that's perfect. The sooner, the better!

Thanks!
