Um, wow. Adweek has named Gawker the Blog of the Decade. For a company that's less than a decade in existence, this is both curious and awesome.

In addition to the accolade, Adweek hails Gawker as 'the epitome of blogging' and 'the template for what a blog should be.'

Scans of the mention and our celebratory ad buy from the Adweek issue below! Despite our digital hype, it's kind of sexy to see ourselves in print:

And actually, four Gawker Media titles received Adweek nominations for their influence on the blog as a medium. Congrats to Lifehacker, Deadspin, Gizmodo, and Gawker.
