Never heard of: bits, search engine land, kotaku nor TUAW

you’re really going to make me google them… :)
the oringinal list is linked, so it’s ok I can be lazy – btw what blog system are you using here that won’t allow the links to paste? readr?

I was thinking of doing links initially but after the heck to make that table with all the copy and pasting, I gave up :)

And then I realized that everyone would know all of them anyway!

I’ve always found the best stuff is just beyond the edge of the leaderboards. Stuff that reaches the leaderboards has been so homogenzied that it is rare I hadn’t already heard the story elsewhere.

That’s just how the Internet works:

Peter - what I was referring to is the "fake" story about Google at $2k/share or TC being sold for $100M. If I was wrong, please let me know. Assuming the two were fake, then they did push you up the leaderboard as I noted.

I was by no means saying all of your content was "made up", parody or fake. I will make a correction so there is no confusion.

Hi Allen. Question: Can you tell me what fake content is and where we can find it? As you know, this blogging business is hard, and I figure that publishing some fake stuff would make it easier for us.
Thanks and regards, pk
