Blog On

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 25, 2005 at 10:57 PM

Not to be outdone by the Post, the New York Daily News has two items on pizza today.

The first is about Brooklyn-style-pizzeria owner Todd Duvio's effort to rebuild his New Orleans restaurant and his blog detailing it. Slice had this story last week, but it's good to see Mr. Duvio getting some wider press. We're hopeful that Brooklyn memorabilia will start moving his way.

The second item mentions Slice:

Mutz to you

If you've still got pizza on your mind, it's time for a visit to the city's own pizza blog, Slice (sliceny.com). Its slogan: "Crusty, Saucy, Cheesy."

Although the site is clearly a for-profit enterprise, modeled on corporate-owned blogs like Gothamist (gothamist.com), Slice tries hard to maintain a down-home feel - its city editor is called "Seltzerboy."

"We're Big Apple-based, with a special affinity for New York-style pies, but we're wild about pizza in general," the site's editors write. "We're even warming up to the idea of deep dish."

Well, if we're "clearly a for-profit enterprise," the ad sales team down on seven here at Slice corporate apparently didn't get the memo. I'll have to talk to HR about poaching some of the Gothamist Corporation's sales reps.

I would expect the Post to be so stupid about your "for profit" site but I'm surprised by the Daily News. The reporter just took a glance at your site obviously. Jimmy Olsen can google!

Good on you for getting the world out about the New Orleans Brooklyn Pizza place. The added media is a plus too. The only thing I have is the hand out booklet for A Christmas Carol from the 2003 MSG theater. Final year, Jim Dale! It was pretty bad. One person's trash is another person's treasure, like that.

I should round up paper menus from my corner of Brooklyn. I really have nothing that says Brooklyn in the house except mail. And I don't think he needs my bills.

BTW - I got the news on this story from Gawker originally. I knew you would have it too.

Great site.

The thing is, I guess 'at a glance' a blog like Slice, AHT etc. looks very much like it is a 'for profit' industry what with the banner and the column of ads.

However, a quick ferret through the cost of advertsing here tells you the Slice boys are earning a fart less than naff all any ads. Slave labour if you ask me, which you didn't.

As for the Gawker line. Lame, very lame.

It was news to me that Gothamist was a "corporate blog." Sure, we're incorporated, but it doesn't mean we're doing this full-time, sadly.

And you can poach Gothamist's sales reps anytime, as they are imaginary.
