The Yahoo-Huffing-Gawker Party Tonight

Gawker-Huffington-Yahoo party in LASurely, the dotcom days have turned into the blogosphere days, and so have the parties. At Arianna Huffington’s house in deeply wooded section of Brentwood in West LA (where there was no T-mobile signal), the blog party of the moment happened. The occasion: Gawker’s tie up with Yahoo, and of course, Huffington Post is already on Yahoo..hence the trilogy of connections. Bill Maher showed up for a while…and then some more TV types. Lots of Yahoo people, including Lloyd Braun and Scott Moore.

Short speeches by Arianna (thanking Yahoo and praising Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker media), Scott Moore (he joked about how Yahoo’s stock went up 6 percent today, after the Gawker deal…actually, he joked about a joke on that), and Nick (who talked about how Defamer proved everyone wrong, and that LA does have an Internet crowd).

All in all, a nice party where I really had nothing to do, so took refuge behind a camera…hence the pics here.
