Is It “The Worst Site Ever”?

A Friday Washington Post business section article about Silicon Valley’s resurgence offers this:
… there is less risk involved in investing in the wacky stuff.
Guy Kawasaki, the founder of Garage Technology Ventures and the author of best selling business books, for example, recently put money into a startup that was named “the worst site ever” by a technology news site. The Web site, called Truerumors, lists rumors that are true. The cost to launch the site was less than $13,000.
You can check out the site here. Naturally, we looked first for political stories, but they weren’t as prominent as we hoped or expected. This story, however, gets some play on the site:
Presidential candidate, Barack Obama spoke to high school students on Tuesday about his abuses of cocaine, marijuana and alcohol.

Minor quibble: the name of the site is Truemors. (I’ve made occasional contributions.) As you note, it’s more of a general interest site, although I’m sure that if more Beltway Boys contributed, the content could veer into the political realm.

You realize that Obama himself revealed that story in his own book, don’t you?
Something’s hardly a “rumor” when the person it is supposed to be about acknowledges it in their own autobiographical book, is it?
