23,000,000 visitors and a dime will buy you a cup of coffee
And what story is the SCLM botching now? Atrios, of course
The Man in the Grey Turtleneck—now I can say it—Duncan Black is #8 on Technorati (measured by links) and #5 on the TTLB ecosystem (ditto), has had over 23,000,000 visitors since 2002, is first in our hearts, and does he get any fawning media coverage? Any media coverage? N-o-o-o-o!
Let's look:
The LA Times? N-o-o-o-o-o! Even though they mention Technorati and TTLB!
Pravda on the Potomac? N-o-o-o-o-o!
US A Today? N-o-o-o-o-o!
But surely Atrios's local paper—Philadelphia, home of The Mighty Eschaton Building—will cover the story? You think? N-o-o-o-o-o!
You know, Atrios is the only blogger ever to have helped bring down a major politician: Republican Senator and Strom Thormond adulator Trent Lott, when Krugman plugged the Eschaton blog in the Times.
Yet the media don't mention Atrios at all.
I wonder why?
