New Sci-Fi/Futurist Site
Hydra-like webmonster Gawker Media reared another lovely head yesterday, with CEO (and new Gawker.com editor) Nick Denton announcing the launch of sci-fi spinoff io9! So I was pleasantly surprised to click through the io9 archives and see that they've already got like months' worth of posts up. Industrious! Naturally, a good half-dozen of those entries are actually cross-posted articles from other Gawker sister-sites announcing the launch of io9—it's a veritable M.C. Escher drawing of internet self-promotion!—but give that archive a good hard look. It's got thoroughly Popsuckerish posts like this one, on the intersection between great disco and bad sci-fi (two of our favorite things!).
Ah, welcome to my RSS feed, io9. I'm sure I'll be regularly plagiarizing um, referencing your fabulousest stories for the foreseeable future.

Other stuff like this: gawker media, io9
I was frankly surprised by the deluge of posts on the site. I'm wondering if they're going to be able to sustain that amount of posts over the long run. Though I must say I'm not a fan of their logo choice it's like the Borg just assimilated a Sanrio factory.
