The site, in 2008
An American news site on politics, media and pop culture, founded by the editor Tina Brown and owned by People Inc.
It took its name from a made-up newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop. In September 2014 it hit a record 21 million unique visitors, up 60% on the year before.
In 2008: Began publishing on 6 October with Tina Brown, formerly of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, as editor.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
