Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal writes on the All Things D web site about new Valleywag editor Owen Thomas, a former Business 2.0 editor who is ruffling feathers in the tech industry.
Swisher wrote, “In his post on the move, Denton said: ‘You see, Thomas isn’t just a veteran of business journalism, with excellent sources in the tech industry (most of which he will burn).’
“And indeed, so far Thomas has been busy slapping around the denizens of Silicon Valley (including me for being too nice to Yahoo U.S. sales head Dave Karnstedt) with newfound vigor of a man freed from the mainstream media.
“Not everyone likes it, finding some posts too snarky and cutting, but everyone does seem to read it.”
