America’s first Blog mogul?

Nick Denton talks to the Independent’s Edward Helmore about the Gawker Empire, and they label him America’s first Blog mogul, which in itself is an interesting turn of phrase, given that Dictionary.com defines mogul as a member of the force that under Baber conquered India in 1526 or a Mongol or Mongolian, neither of which Nick is, or “a very rich or powerful person; a magnate”. Either way, an interesting read.
