It seems as though everything going on today somehow has to do with "outing" someone or something. Then there are the places in which we must use discretion, because being privy to certain information can cause a ruckus if you spill it. And we have a tendency to talk. It's our JOB. And we like causing a ruckus.

So, a couple things:

• Jess has been outed as the new editor of Gawker. We've known for a while, but three robots that looked like Denton cornered us in a bar and told us we'd have to dress like them if we revealed the secret. I'm sorry, but there's no way to tell how powerful those robots were.

  What's this mean for you? Nothing, probably! What's it mean for us? Well, probably a lot of exclusive +1's to really boring, inane media parties. Free booze, though. Lots of free booze.

• If you're going to do a WHOIS lookup on a site, there are some ground rules:
  
  1. Don't go to the site you just WHOIS'd directly from the WHOIS page. There's something called referer logs and some people are lame enough to be able to decipher them (read: us).
     
  2. Don't be proud! WHOIS is for dorks! E-mail + Google are the new WHOIS.
     

• Outed BlogStalker(s): Anoymous Outsider. Anonymous cewebrity quote: "he was a little bit too friendly with the IMs and insistent on meeting ASAP. i had no idea who he was." No one will give me a full story. Apparently no one else wants the people they hang out with to hate them.

  Sort of stalky: Andrew Krucoff: Multiple reports of "sycophanatic narcissism."

• Outed C-list cewebrity: Laren Sweet Blog o' Mine. It's so weird, it's like a whole cewebrity subworld going on right before our eyes, yet we can't see it. They go to the places cewebrities go to, talk about the things cewebrities talk about, but are, like, not cewebrities. They're just bloggers! Laren fits the self-imposed description of a cewebrity ("I'm a thirty-something, semi-hip, semi-dorky chick living life in NYC. Taking it one day at a time."), except maybe the thirty-something part, and she's missing the "Oh, and I AM BETTER THAN YOU and BLOGS ARE SO OVER!" at the end. But mostly. You know. She openly uses (and meets strangers from) dodgeball.com, and even lists "blogging" as one of her interests. It's like a big breath of fresh air, compounded with the same dull chatter that all of us pollute our bandwith with.

• Anyone want to out "anonymous" ceweb TMFTML? We don't know why this matters, but, you know, (s)he's all, like, anonymous and stuff, and as long as we're outing people, sort of.
  

Alright, give it up if you got it. BlogStalkers, secrets, porn videos, whatever. You'll be anonymous if you ask to be. That's one thing we're good at. There's only one thing that'll break our silence, and that's Denton-Bots, but they hibernate between big announcements.
