Socialite-chronicling Web site Guest of a Guest is drawing criticism for taking a few too many style pointers from Gawker.com. Multiple blogs have pointed out that the design for the site, started by Rachelle Hruska and ex-boyfriend Cameron Winklevoss, is almost identical to that of Nick Denton‘s gossip flagship. “It’s a bit silly,” said one blogger. Asked to comment, Denton told us, “Cameron Winklevoss claimed he invented Facebook,” and noted that Winklevoss settled a lawsuit against [Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg “for millions of dollars. So it’s surprising he has neither the creativity nor the funds to come up with his own Web design.” Said Hruska: “Who is Nick Denton?”
Is Guest of a Guest too close to Gawker?
