 Gawker works best when the blogging site sinks its spear into subjects its writers understand, like Hilary Duff's visible panty line. But it tends to miss the mark when it enters trickier, less titillating terrain, such as Arianna Huffington's money-maker, meaning The Huffington Post, her eponymous collection of news blogs.In a recent post, Gawker's Hamilton Nolan says HuffPo's ability to land $25 million in venture capital this month owes chiefly to Arianna's prescience in raising dough before the site's audience flees after binging on presidential election news. "Now, their traffic is (predictably) plunging," he says. "Arriana Huffington's dealmaking abilities are awesome." Exhibit A (predictably) is a single Quantcast chart showing, as the post incisively points out, that HuffPo's "page-views" have fallen since early November. Exhibit B is a boulder-sized assumption: On the Internet, online traffic is the sole, or even most important, predictor of value. If things were so simple, Mark Zuckerberg would still be Jerry Yang's bitch. Set aside for a moment that HuffPo announced the funding nearly a month after the election. Let's also accept Gawker's implicit assumption that Huffington was awesomely cooking up the deal months ago, when online traffic was peaking. She was doing that, the reasoning goes, in hopes that the developmentally disabled venture firm that kicked in the latest funding, Oak Investment Partners, wouldn't figure out that readership at a political news site might fall after arguably the most historic election in U.S. history. Quoth Nolan, "We assume [Oak] saw this coming, and still invested anyhow, for some reason! Or else they fell prey to deadly optimism." In a nutshell, which is where such thinking belongs, this isn't how the VC business works. Nor does pulling up a Web traffic chart or two constitute serious analysis of a complex subject. Nor does arguing that investing in an Internet media firm when online advertising is, like, way crap right now (which it's not) constitute "deadly" optimism. It's hard to imagine even Gawker's Owen Thomas, formerly of the late, lamentable ValleyWag, publishing so feeble a piece. Don't get me wrong. I like Gawker, and panty lines, as much as the next degenerate. But the company should stick to pricking media and entertainment elite pretensions, which it does as well as anybody, and check its own pretensions to seriousness at the door. -- Alain Sherter See Dec. 16 post from Gawker See Dec. 1 post on The Huffington Post's last VC round from Tech Confidential See Dec. 17 post on projected online ad growth from Tech Confidential
