Gina Trapani Starts a New Blog
Lifehacker founder and former lead editor Gina Trapani announced this morning that she's started a new blog called Smarterware.org. She says the new site has "no ads, no digg badges, lots of sentences starting with 'I'." It won't have dozens of posts daily under a rigorous publishing schedule - it will be a place for "stuff that fired off a synapse or two in my head," Trapani says.
After four years leading what's become the most widely read productivity blog and one of the biggest blogs period on the web, Trapani announced at the start of the year that she was leaving her position as Lifehacker lead editor. She posted a long goodbye and look back at the site's history two weeks later. Trapani has been one of the most important figures in the rise of the blogging medium. She's also one hell of a nice person.

Here at ReadWriteWeb we're big Gina fans and we look forward to seeing if she can push back the likely mob of opportunists to create a site that offers some of the best types of content we grew to love at Lifehacker.
If you can't get enough of Gina, you can follow her on Twitter and on FriendFeed. At the very least, we're sure you'll want to join us in subscribing to Smarterware.org.

Whoohooo.
Thanks for the tip Marshall. I do love me some Gina, and am excited to see what she'll write without Gawker telling her how to do it.
Go Gina! Super excited to add this to my (too damn long) list of daily reads.
Thanks for making us all aware of this Marshall. This is very cool indeed. I just left my first comment on Gina's blog. Kudos to Gina and many more posts!
Thanks RWW. I enjoy posts like this, since I'm always looking for some other good blogs to check out :-)
Marshall, somewhat off-topic, but hilariously ironic... you should see the stupid ad that popped up at the bottom of your feed:

Not sure why you wrote this, or why you phrased it this way.
Thanks for the link Marshall. All the very best to Gina.
