You can see the 12-minute gap above where Boutin got his coffee. He's right though. No way would Denton or Calacanis bother to blog anonymously.

@marykathleenflynn: it's ted from uncov.

Denton is smart and evil - an excellent combination of traits for a blogger.

Is Brickhouse relevant anymore? Was it ever?

@marykathleenflynn: You'll probably mistake the silence here for proof, proof that Denton is blogging anonymously at some site no one reads, hiding his identity by pretending he can't write and has nothing interesting to say. But no, the silence is because none of us care. I only bothered to post this because you probably have some manager breathing down your neck to break this non-story before tonight, and I feel kind of sorry for you. Here's a helpful hint: "Ted" is none of those people. He's someone far less interesting. You read it here first.

Agreed. Why are we reading about him at all? If I had a dollar for every time some non-achiever tried to whet my interest for oooooh inside info about their boring business ... oh wait, I do have a dollar for every time. Off to Starbucks.

Yeah, I don't know what brickhouse is either. I think I must've gotten too busy lately to keep up with all the dying giant's shitty new products

Dear Nick Denton,

I emailed you on your Gawker account but maybe you'll see this sooner:

For my Behind the Money blog, I'm writing a post speculating on who "Ted", the founder of TheFunded.com, might be? Some say it's you, some say Kevin Rose, Jason Calacanis, or Evan Williams.

Ted has promised to reveal himself at an event tonight. In the meantime, will you please confirm or deny it's you?

If it's not you, who is it?

Thanks for playing,
