New Blog DealBreaker Provides Wall Street Gossip

Posted on March 30, 2006

DealBreaker.com is an impressive looking new blog providing Wall Street gossip and business and financial news. Blogebrity says the blog is part of a "new blog empire" from Elizabeth Spiers, a former editor of Media Bistro and Gawker.com. Spiers is listed as the editor/publisher on the masthead. Joseph Weisenthal, who also writes at Techdirt.com and TheStalwart.com, is the Opening Bell Editor. Other bloggers include Muffie Benson-Perella and Trip Paulson. Deal Breaker also has a podcast that debuts tomorrow. Cameron Barrett, who lists DealBreaker as one of his BlogCorp projects, also says Elizabeth Spiers is building a blog network.

The second project, DealBreaker.com, launched earlier today. It is a Wall Street gossip blog, conceived by former Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers. She has recruited some excellent writers and is busy building a blog network that could possibly rival that of Nick Denton's. DealBreaker is just the first of many blogs Elizabeth has plans for. Expect great things.

I Want Media has an interview with Spiers about the launch of DealBreaker.com. In the interview she mentions developing two or three more sites over the summer. It sounds like Spiers has big goals.
