Valleywag is a Gawker Media blog with gossip and news about Silicon Valley personalities. It was initially launched under the direction of editor Nick Douglas in February 2006. After Douglas was fired the blog was taken over by Owen Thomas. Thomas himself left in May 2009 to be replaced by Ryan Tate. It was the first to break some stories such as the leaking of a Gene Simmons sex tape.
