Gawker: valleywag, george zachary

Z is for Zuckerberg, the richest of all

Owen Thomas — Thu, 15 May 2008 11:20:00 EDT

Money isn't everything. Mark Zuckerberg may have the highest net worth among his generation of entrepreneurs, but the Facebook CEO only gets 21 out of 294 pages in Sarah Lacy's new Web 2.0 book, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good. That's 16 more than his sister, nerd chanteuse Randi Jayne Zuckerberg, which tells us Lacy has her priorities all wrong. The Zuckerbergs' index page:

Previously:

A is for Adelson, who cofounded Digg

B is for Botha, who sold YouTube big

F is for Fitzpatrick, and "hookers and blow"

L is for Levchin, who never goes slow

P is for Parker, the Valley's bad boy

R is for Rose, who made Digg his toy

T is for Twitter, which turned blogging small

Here comes the sun

The sun is finally out and not a second too soon: tonight, Snap Chat No. 4 is being held in Palo Alto with George Zachary of Charles River Ventures (and of Valleywag Hotties fame). The winsome VC explains how to pitch investors. VizThink's conference started and continues through tomorrow with talks including Karl Gude (formerly of Newsweek) and Bryan Christie.

George Zachary: not gay, just Greek

ndouglas — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 16:28:55 EST

George Zachary's Valleywag Hotties sunbathing photo inspired a Sand Hill Slave post and this eavesdrop from a tipster:

Internet girlfriend: Have you seen the George Zachary photo? That guy is *so* gay.
Internet mogul: He's not gay. He's just Greek.

George Zachary Makes Sand Hill Slave Eat Crow. Thanks George! [Sand Hill Slave]

Valleywag Hotties: Semifinals results

ndouglas — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 11:16:23 EST

Only two Valleywag Hotties left, after...

Jim Buckmaster (52.2%) stared down George Zachary (47.8%).
Ben Trott (58.4%) gunned down Jeff Weiner (41.6%).

I'm sorry, Zachary fans. And I'm even more sorry to post this e-mail from "Charlie Schmidt":

In that latest picture of George Zachary- "Caught in a rare resting moment" should read something more like - "On his way to breakfast hungover, George has to stop and lean against the wall to prevent from falling over." At least that is my recollection of how that picture was taken.

But hey, he looked great doing it.

So, next up, the final face-off. The grisly semifinals record after the jump.

Valleywag Hotties remainders

ndouglas — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 17:12:24 EST

Some troubling news of Hotties corruption:

Mena Trott and Anil Dash considered heavy Photoshopping for Ben Trott's face-off with Jeff Weiner. "We'll make him have a big package," said Anil. "Like a tripod."
Craig Newmark is campaigning for his CEO Jim Buckmaster. Craigslisters have joined the fray.
That photo you see? Yet another Buckmaster pic. Apparently there's a big stack of sexy Jim photos sitting somewhere.
George Zachary got a new pic in, and friends of his friends are pushing for him on the Junto Boyz blog.

The international Hotties juding panel has been contacted, possible frauds are being investigated, and several contestants will be tested for 'roids. Do your part to fight corruption: vote for Hotties fairly. (Then vote again at work.)

Current face-offs: George Zachary vs. Jim Buckmaster and Jeff Weiner vs. Ben Trott.

Valleywag Hotties semi-finals: George Zachary vs. Jim Buckmaster

ndouglas — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 16:20:12 EST

Competition's getting FIERCE. George Zachary's loved ones shipped in a new, hotter photo of the VC. Meanwhile, Jim Buckmaster's PR wrangler special-delivered a new shot of the Craigslist CEO in the wild. In this round, hearts will be broken.

For those poor souls waiting for an end to the hotties, sit tight. Valleywag will soon return to its regular, ambiguously oriented coverage.

Valleywag Hotties: Quarterfinals results

ndouglas — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 11:33:35 EST

In a round of clear winners, one race went turtleneck-and-turtleneck. Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster managed to topple the Master of Cool, Steve Jobs, thanks to a fierce campaign by Craigslist customer service rep (and founder) Craig Newmark.

The results:

George Zachary (67.9%) buys more love with his money than George Boutros (31.9%).
Jim Buckmaster (51.3%) de-lists Steve Jobs (48.7%).
Ben Trott (67.5%) blogs circles around Max Levchin (32.5%).
Jeff Weiner (55.4%) rocks the Photoshop to out-bare-chest Sergey Brin (44.6%).

Stat porn after the jump.

Valleywag hotties: George Zachary vs. George Boutros

ndouglas — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 19:44:49 EST

It's the last Valleywag hotties quarterfinal.

George Zachary was bright enough to invest in Odeo and Shutterfly (okay, so not bright enough to invest in Pandora and Flickr). George Boutros is mean enough to scare other investment bankers — and that's not exactly an industry of warm and friendly guys.

One of them goes home tonight.

Valleywag hotties: Four more victors, four more losers

ndouglas — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 13:49:40 EST

Round one's over, and four more men will go home crying. The breakdown:

George Boutros (59.2%) out-wickeds Stratton Sclavos (40.8%).
George Zachary (78.6%) is the boom to Jeff Brody (21.4%)'s bust.
Jim Buckmaster (53.0%) makes Jonathan Ive (47.0%) rant and rave.
Steve Jobs (83.5%) is a sweeter sugar daddy than Larry Ellison (16.5%).

These four will face off later today in round 2 of Valleywag Hotties. Craig Newmark, keep rooting for your man. Faces, bar charts, and brackets after the jump.
