Nick Douglas gets it right

Nick Douglas first appeared on my radar screen about a year ago as the first editor at Valleywag. He seemed intelligent enough but never really brought much to the table to turn Valleywag into a must read.

When I first saw him at the Web 2.0 conference last year in San Francisco, it all made sense. He really fit the definition of a smarmy internet blogger...he was small, nerdy looking, and clearly seemed to be relishing in his pseudo-notoriety.

But from time to time (and really since getting fired from Valleywag) he puts out some decent copy. Like this piece, entitled "Dear bubble veterans. We get it. Now shut up, you're harshing out buzz." Well said!
