Nick Denton has responded to criticism of the critique by Jason Calacanis of the Behaviors of the Blogosphere Study in an article at CickZ where he’s quoted as saying:
‘”I know it galls Jason Calacanis that his sites are about as memorable as Burger King franchises, and that none register among the top blogs, except Pete Rojas’s Engadget,” he said.
Denton added, “But Jason Calacanis misses the big picture. The study finally provides evidence for what we’ve all hoped for: that blog readers are younger and richer than average, and, one hopes, thinner.”‘
I’m not sure where the ‘thinner’ comment comes from – or is Nick preempting a ‘diet blog’ announcement?
Meanwhile Jason’s blog has become even more focussed upon the study (5 of his last 7 posts are on the topic).
Where will this all end I wonder? And is anyone taking any notice anyway?
