Glam Media or Heavy.com?

I could not even tell you what these companies stand for anymore… that’s I guess what happens when you raise gushing amounts of VC: Heavy’s raised some $25M and more, Glam about $100M.  I stopped counting… but it’s a bit of a joke that your media partners, advertisers and users get confused by the barrage of hyperbole that crams my freaking inbox every day about the latest thing.

Sizzle over substance… I can’t wait for this wave of hype to crater and more way for something meaningful, again… which will of course give way for more crap and hype.  But I digress.
