RE: I Can Hardly Read The News Anymore (Too Many Crazies)
For some reason everytime I start going to DrudgeReport I start forgetting to go there again and end up back on Yahoo for a quick skim over what is going on. I will have to check it out again over there.
Yeah alot of there stuff is tabloidish but I recently heard a great podcast by Ben Settle where he was talking about ugly websites and that was included amongst Craigslist and some others. I mean the site creates none of it's own content, its ugly, it's not mobile optimized so your having to finger scroll all over your phone to read it, all of those things would traditionally be a deathblow to a site but they do crazy numbers. They write really catchy titles and they tend to bring to light articles or stories which are important but often dont' get attention. I realize not everyone likes it since it has a conservative slant but again they don't create their own content they just link to others.
The success of Drudge Report has been interesting for sure.
Dude did you see the ridiculously long reply I left you on your other post? I then turned it into an entire blog post and @ned happened to be up in the middle of the night and saw it right away and replied. It was kind of funny actually. I think he is probably still over in Europe because STEEM Fest just ended and I was up at 3:30am or something stupid. LOL
