We have to check Alexa this week.

Blog Catalog is doing great on Alexa over the last few months. It was ranked #1,995 when I joined this site last summer. It is now ranked #798 and it is also now ahead of mybloglog.

I got a few hundred extra hits out of it--nothing like the 40,000 I was expecting. :)

If CNN ever mentions our blogs, you can retire if you earn income with it. The amount of hits you would get would be amazing. Not to mention links which others will give you.

If I was running BC, I would try to get on CNN and see if they will do a piece on this site which is still not known by many people.

Congratulations to EVERYONE who helped make bloggers unite a reality.

I actually didn't get to see it by the time I got the phonecall from one of my friends and tuned in it was already over.

Hey kev will you be able to post that up on youtube or something so I can see it?

I am hoping they re-run it later today; they usually do.
