Gawker-ed
by | January 2, 2008 | 23 Comments

Hm, eeenteresting…

I just spotted a new incoming link, and clicked in mild curiosity. To my surprise, despite being a blog I hadn’t heard of, it was a familiar template to anyone who reads any of the monster juggernaut-y blogs run by Gawker Media (such as Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Consumerist, Jezebel, or its flagship, Gawker).

Turns out it’s the newest Gawker blog, a sci-fi centered site that launched just today, io9.com.

So, what could io9 possibly want in a Dramabeans post??

Here, I’ll give you a moment to guess.

 

 
Answer: Jeon Ji Hyun, of course!

Specifically, io9 talks about her newest film, The Man Who Was Superman. (They link to this entry here on Dramabeans.)

Kinda nifty, right? I know, it’s totally lame to geek out at being bloglinked by a big-name blog, but I still think of this little place as my cozy little niche that nobody outside the teeny world of kdrama fandom cares about. And being Gawker-ed has got to be like some kind of blog milestone, right?

Heh.
