BitchBuzz: The British Sarah Lacy Weighs In
So I wrote about the launch of BitchBuzz two days ago. Olivia-- who reads Jezebel more regularly than I do-- did her review yesterday. But we still felt something was missing in our comprehensive BitchBuzz coverage. So we reached out to our sister blogger Paul Carr. Carr is -- as loyal readers know-- the British Sarah Lacy, and the site is British so it seemed fitting.
Somehow I didn't realize the Pandora's Box I was opening...
BitchBuzz v. Jezebel
Another post by Olivia, who promptly helped paint SarahLacy.com's office pink once she was done:
So as Sarah mentioned a couple days ago, the ladies across the pond launched the feminist blog Bitchbuzz, which their manifesto exalts as the arrival of “a funny, informative, feisty website for women.” Groan. One could definitely say they are a bit late to the game, but within each sassy blog hopefully lies a completely unique, yet equally sassy, angle. As an ardent Jezebel reader, I am well aware that snark goes a long way, so let’s place both the cool kid and the new kid under a microscope shall we?
BitchBuzz (Calm Down! It's the Name of the Site!)
I've long thought a cloned-me could only make the world a worse place, and I know there are a good many Twitterers who agree with that statement. However, I couldn't help but wish there was a little more of my time to go around when the ladies behind a new women's blog, BitchBuzz, asked if I wanted to be a contributor earlier this week. Happily I'm more than gainfully employed with my assortment of jobs, so I sadly have no time to take on any new projects. Still, I plan to make time to read the site regularly when it launches in about an hour.
New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
