Three new Gawker Media sites

Publisher Nick Denton has just announced three new weblogs in the Gawker Media stable, Jalopnik, Kotaku, and Screenhead. Covering (respectively) cars, video games, and net silliness of the "funny forwards" variety, these three additions have already garnered coverage in the New York Times despite having launched earlier today.

It's not entirely surprising, of course. Nick's network of sites, including titles like Gawker, Wonkette and Gizmodo, are among the best-known blogs on the web, and have done a good job of helping people who are new to the medium to see the potential of weblogs. And, like all the blogs in the Gawker stable, the new additions are powered by Movable Type 3.11.

Congratulations to the growing Gawker team on the new launches, and be sure to check out Nick's post for some fascinating statistics on readership for the blogs, as well as the advertising and sponsorship models that Gawker has been exploring with its weblogs.
