AllThingsD Raids SAI, Steals Peter Kafka

Henry Blodget | September 17, 2008 7:22 PM

kafka.jpgMainstream media strikes back: A raiding party from Dow Jones stormed our offices this afternoon and ran off with our Managing Editor, Peter Kafka. He was last seen being hustled off into the sunset by AllThingsD's Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg.

Peter helped us launch SAI and has been a major contributor to our success over the past year.  He's a good man and a talented journalist, and we wish him all the best.

Allthingsd sucks donkey balls. Its a site for grave diggers. Kara Swisher gets so many things wrong she could coach the mets. Mossberg is a apple fanboy to the core. For those about to die. I salute you. PK.

Hmmm, not encouraging unless he never had enough equity in the first place.

Peter....

I loved reading and commenting on the stories you've written. Your insight and humor have helped make me more informed and helped me pass a lot of time when I should have been working.

It will be a shame to see you go because I never ready AllthingsD and I don't plan on starting.

Cheers and Salut.

Will they still want him when they realize he was involved in the Sarah Palin email theft?

And that he wrote about it, linked to it, encouraged others to report links.....as well as posted one of the stolen photos?

Sad. A great loss for SAI. Makes the site even less interesting (with all that WoW spam, and the tragic attempt to drive traffic to your site network).

Good luck anyway.
Helpful comments on the cross posts, noblow (Read yesterday's too). Goal with them was largely to easily add relevant content from other sites (instead of having to set up an entirely new post on each site).

Do other folks find them annoying as well?

I've enjoyed Peter's commentary.

For what it's worth... S.A.I. and The Big Picture are my go-to places for commentary and I usually pick up links to D from S.A.I.
Hello all, thanks for the (mostly) kind words. Still here for another month or so, still reachable at pkafka AT alleyinsider DOT com.

Henry, losing a key person is never easy... but you've handled the announcement like a pro... kudos for grace under fire.
