I'm popping the popcorn now. Let me know when the show starts. - Cyndy

I don't know what to say, that post resonates on many levels with me. Especially on lists being irrelevant. Damn right! - Mo Kargas

"thiefdom" LOL - Jason Carreira

Don't miss it one bit. - David Cohn

We don't need Digg or Reddit to survive, either. - Chris Baskind

Chris, true, although I never say no to the occasional Digg headline either :-) - Duncan Riley

I have to say, Duncan. I've greatly enjoyed your content much more post-TechCrunch. And I believe this is part of the reason why. You do indeed write to the audience, and not to the TechMeme potential. Good stuff. - Nathaniel Payne

Never say never. ;-) - Chris Baskind

Thx Nathaniel - Duncan Riley

What Nathaniel said. And that's kind of what I was digging at, pardon the pun. I'm thinking if we write for readers, the traffic will follow. - Chris Baskind

I noticed the same for Polymeme...it's a strange thing but I'm learning to use it in ways I do find useful. - Hrag

For what it's worth, The Inquisitr is becoming a must read for me. Enjoyed this piece, pretty illuminating stuff on a few different levels - Eric Berlin

Duncan, The Inquisitr is #3 on my Leaderboard. http://www.louisgray.com/live/... (does that help?) - Louis Gray

Thx Eric. Louis, yes + thx - Duncan Riley

Went cold turkey about 4 months ago. Still visit once a week or to see a story thread I need to see easily. - Jim Kukral via twhirl

I definitely agree with Eric - Steven Hodson

-high five!- ....let's go have some pork chops, of course! - Mona N.

Duncan, nice, that post came out even better than we planned. Now how about starting a whole blog dedicated to how much Techmeme doesn't matter? - Gabe Rivera

wrapped in bacon. - Bren

Maybe for the 3 month anniversary Gabe ;-) - Duncan Riley

I agree with the other Eric, The Inquisitr is becoming a great site. However, I think you should buy up all of the similar domain names because every time I tell someone about it, they mistype the URL and get to some dumb site :) - Eric Florenzano

Eric, true, my wife found one last night based on a real basic typo - Duncan Riley

gaberivera has a thin skin i think - Gregory Lent

techmeme is the bulletin board at your local safeway, little 3 x 5 cards, ballpoint pen letters, lawns mowed, babysitter needed, daycare offered, lost kitten answers to max, for sale, 1983 mustang, 63,000 miles, regular oil changes... just for tech-lust folks - Gregory Lent

http://jeneane.net/?p=83 my two cents - jeneane is in the house

Gregory, I forgot to mention in the post that my last headline on Techmeme was a post discussing the problems with Techmeme.....total coincidence :-) - Duncan Riley

all the stuff we have to go through in order to grow up .. sigh - Gregory Lent

Duncan is a talented, sometimes provacative, always intriguiging (thought-provoking) writer. And great headline writer and promoter as well. - Alex Hammer

Duncan I think if people send email to questionsorcomments@techmeme.com with subject line $$$ you will get respond back otherwise your email goes to deleted folder :) I build techmeme for my self I would be glad to add every f*** tech blogger ... Anyways as I commented on your blog, awesome post I love it! - Live Crunch

I think there's far too much emphasis on whether or not one "makes it" on TechMeme. And zealots who follow TM with every breath and then show up in the comments area to say stupid crap like "why did this make it to TechMeme" need to get a life. Read and subscribe to what's interesting, don't be so focused on "where" it comes from. There is no single golden source on the web. - TDavid

Traffic alone is a tough measurement. We've also had a huge rise in the adoption of syndication. People going to sites is in decline (or slowing) almost everywhere. - Kevin

it is a nice link blog - Gregory Lent

They took thewebsiteisdown.com down completely, now it simply redirects to the blip.tv file - Chacha via twhirl

Wow. This brought back lots of bad memories. Funny as hell and terrifying all at once. - Steve Giovannetti via twhirl

LOL that's from the 'Web dude vs Sales guy' video. If you haven't seen it, you gotta, gotta see this thing. - john conroy
