A Brief Analysis of the Overseas Web 2.0 Websites Series (Part I) —— American Real-time Gossip Website

Gawker is an American gossip website which adopts the concept that common people can participate in the news gathering process. It is a pioneering example of citizen journalism. Gawker's daily advertising revenue can reach up to 4000 US dollars, and its annual advertising revenue is one or two million US dollars! Denton only needs to pay Spears and two other authors, as well as possibly only a few thousand US dollars for the website management fee per year. The rest can be kept in his own pocket.
