Mashable completely blew TechCrunch out of the water. maybe

Mashable has 408k feedburner subscribers. Thats 408,000

…any comments on this?

It appears as though I may have jumped the gun. (sigh)
Stat Guru has left a comment with a link to the Alexaholic rankings for both sites in question.

  2. Derek,

    As an avid reader of your blog daily, I’m a bit disappointed by this post. I mean if you labeled it as a question then I’d understand but we all know mashable either has a glitch which they dont seem to care about or are fluffing the numbers.

    Here’s the charts: http://www.alexaholic.com/mashable.com+techcrunch.com

    Also, you can tell from replies on articles. Techcrunch is the industry leader. Numbers don’t lie.

  3. Thank you Stat Guru! I should have known something was up when I managed to come upon something that wasn’t already news.

  4. I’m confused if that was a playful shot at me or what? I’m not here to start problems. Like I said I read your blog everyday. Just thought this post was first out of scope, where’s the mention of widgets? and very random, come on we all who’s bigger….

  5. Wow, I guess you should just stick with the widget thing. Thats really to bad that you can’t write about other things.

  6. I stand corrected. Your right. It’s your blog. Your content. I’m just a reader. Carry-on, I’ll continue to read in lieu of it all. :)

  7. Stat Guru, There was no “shot” intended. I was trying to cope with my disappointment in not “getting the scoop”

  8. You do have a point though. People come here for information on widgets. Not un-related rumor mongering.
    In my minds eye I saw a traffic spike that rivaled anything I have experienced yet.

    Readers like you are what keep me in line with the scope of the blog.
    Thank You!

  9. That number gets automatically generated through Feebburner API. So not much chance of gaming it. Also a quick look at the source of mashable tells nothing is wrong.
