Comments on Slog Thanks You

That reporter greatly impressed me a few weeks ago with an article about myspace/internet predator hysteria in the press and telling people to chill out and give kids some credit. Great to see something like that in the PI!

You deserve the accolades. It's an addicting blog. Thank you!

Heckuva job, SLOGgie...

Slog is the best! I stare at a computer screen all day long...I like that you update a million times a day. It keeps me from going completely insane...Seriously, good job.

Good job! Monica Guzman's blog at the PI is AWESOME. I think it's the 2nd best blog in Seattle. She's done some great blog reporting -- she did a very good story about sexism at Chop Suey a month or so ago that I wish other outlets picked up.

Also, I know this isn't what you are looking for, but compete.com is fun to compare traffic numbers. Note the nosedive in traffic for seattleweekly.com starting Jan '07.

This is a dangerous place for anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer and is inclined to procrastinate.

To some it may be dangerous, but to others it's frackin' paradise.

SLOG is a wonderful diversion for anyone with ADD, too!

@5 Jamier OF COURSE the Stranger has way more traffic. It's not even a contest at all! The Weekly website is blatantly inferior. I didn't even know they had a blog. But you have make sure we all see the numbers. Didn't I just read that "self-congratulation is frowned upon here"? Why the constant paranoia?

So I'm looking at the chart. Didn't the Stranger have a bigger nosedive in January?

Does this mean you're taking ownership of the Slog contents now? Will you be held liable for anything Stranger staffers post on the Slog? Just wondering.

And since when do you frown on self-congratulations? Eli and Josh must be receiving RSI treatment from throwing bouquets at themselves on a weekly basis.

Kleenex?

The Weekly blog blows. It seems like the music section is either all about Modest Mouse or Sub Pop records. The sports section focuses on the team nobody in Seattle cares about--the Sonics.

If Slog posts five times an hour, the Weekly is lucky to post five times a day--and never on the weekend.

We'll throw down. 18,963 PV in March. Boo yaah. Slog got 39.5507x more traffic.

On more important note, Monica asked a few of us what's up with Seattle's blog "community." I said there wasn't really one but the leader of the pack is the Slog. I'm guessing a few others said the same thing. The Slog is a great voice for the city.

"I said there wasn't really one but the leader of the pack is the Slog."

and our leader of the leader of the pack is...

Slog is my little bit of home that I can access anywhere.

As a representative of "people in jobs that mostly involve sitting in a cubicle with nothing to do, but are blocked from games or streaming video," I'm very grateful for the Slog. Even though I live in DC and have never been to Seattle, I was practically biting my nails over the viaduct vote. (And I watch the Youtube links when I go home.)
