Economic News: Potential Employee Pool for Coding and Coding Related Industries Grows, Unexpectedly

Bustle Media has shelved its previously planned relaunch of Gawker; staff laid off.

lol. Now they're laying people off before the "media" site even launches.

Efficiency GAINZZZZ.

Gawker.com will remain in limbo: The reboot of the news and gossip site, now three years dormant, will not be going forward as planned, at least for now.

Bustle Digital Group, whose founder and CEO Bryan Goldberg (pictured above) bought the assets of Gawker in a bankruptcy auction last year, said it has canceled the planned September relaunch of the notoriously snarky property and laid off the staff that was hired to run it.

"We are postponing the Gawker relaunch," Bustle Digital Group said in a statement. "For now, we are focusing company resources and efforts on our most recent acquisitions, Mic, The Outline, Nylon and Inverse."

News of BDG's plans to table the relaunch of Gawker were first reported by the New York Post.

...

Goldberg was the winning bidder for Gawker.com a year ago, paying $1.35 million for the site...

Is that really winning? Second place in the bidding war was "not paying a million plus dollars to own Gawker."

That's like getting drunk and trolling for a real dirty trull, just a complete nightcralwer swampass barfly, and "winning" the Herpes lottery while your friend went home and knocked one out and went to sleep like a baby and so won't be getting a lifelong prescription for Zorivax (R) genital cream.

Hey, you gotta be in it to win it.
