Blogorrah.com

bloggorah.com, also known as blogorrah, was a New York City-based Irish website owned by the publishing "empire" of John Ryan. The site was edited by Derek O'Connor in New York. It was known for satirising well-known social figures in Irish life such as politicians, models, actors and the media. Blogorrah regularly featured in Irish national newspapers and received radio coverage, with the Sunday Independent referring to it as "frankly disgusting",^[1] and it was described by the Irish Independent as "a sort of Phoenix without portfolio".^[2] Its end came when Ryan's publishing empire collapsed in 2007. A new blog The Chancer was launched in its place^[3] after Jim Carroll of The Irish Times questioned what Irish bloggers had written about before blogorrah.^[4]
