monoki in the press (a year after it shuts down)
January 24, 2007 by alex
Ironically, after toiling away for 5+ years on monoki, Kevin and I never got any love from the media. Then, after having closed up shop for almost a year now, monoki (the old site is still up with woefully underupdated content and most likely a slew of links going directly to nowhere) gets a mention in the New York Observer piece on what a hotbed for bloggers the Lower East Side is. Ok, well maybe it isn’t a “mention” as much as it is merely the word “monoki” appearing in print, which still warms my cockles.
One night at Local 138 on Ludlow Street, Mr. Carney and cohort Kevin Kearney, a writer for the now-defunct humor site Monoki, decided they’d endured enough body-surfing through the less Web-connected masses: “[We] made a pledge that we were banning the entire area from Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. ‘It’s Hell,’ Kevin said. ‘Hell Square, and we’re not going there anymore.’”
R.I.P. monoki. We loved ya!
