]]> <![CDATA[Battelle gets Farked]]> Longer Disclosure: Valleywag is suffering from horrible design and low traffic. In an effort to boost ratings and get anyone to notice the site Nick is pulling from his obvious bag of blog promotion tricks including:

a) firing the editor
b) redesigning the site
c) talking down his talent
d) smacking down anyone who dares consider blogs a "real" business.

Question2: Is it true that Gina from LifeHacker has multiple serious offers and is next to jump ship?

your pal,

Jason
