Tech Review

When Pajamas Media decided to shed its blog network model- of which I was a part- I wrote why I thought it hadn't achieved the success of a Daily Kos or Huffington Post and why I was skeptical of its prospects. Their hiring of Joe the Plumber as a foreign correspondent seemed to confirm the latter, in my eyes.

After hearing Roger Simon on Prager and Medved today, I decided to check out the site.

It looked good. The organization was more functional and its Pajamas X-press blogs were easily accessed and from quality writers. I still couldn't recognize the contributors from TV or radio, and I didn't feel compelled to click on the the TV clips.

I checked Alexa (I know, dubious, but it's something). Wow! It's grown from mid tens of thousands in popularity to 8000-something, which means it's doubled or tripled its traffic. If you compare it to the con big-boys, it's a little behind Townhall, Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, and National Review Online, but way ahead of Weekly Standard and Spectator.

So, DO NOT hire me a web consultant.
