Anyone seen the ABC nightly ~~News~~ Propaganda 2nite?

They did a hit piece on Sarah Palin’s church: Pentecostal – speaking in tongues – same ol same ol – black and white parishioners – getting along and holding hands – worshiping god…

How you can screw that up so completely is beyond me.

S. Weasel on September 14, 2008 at 5:44 PM

I have been long annoyed at programmers / developers who are so very impressed with their own cleverness that they do things, not because these things are useful or even desireable, but because they can. These folks have been screwing up computing for years.

One thing that absolutely burns my beehind about this modern generation of “marketeers” is their idea of “change”. Change for the sake of change. Keep things stirred up all the time. Keep people guessing. You walk into a store like Walmart etc and about every 6 months they change things around and you have to re-learn. Who has time to re-learn things? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. DD

Screw SiteMeter. Carlos Zambrano just threw a no-hitter for the Cubs, playing Houston (in Milwaukee, due to Ike interference).

Does this affect your revenue for HotAir?

Anything that helps drive traffic up is beneficial.

For my own purposes, I don’t pay attention to the rankings. I usually hang out on the entry page stats, clicking on the numbers to see where viewers are coming from, although I do switch and look at other things sometimes.

For those of you who are uninterested in this topic, remember that when AP and Ed link to other bloggers, you might see on their pages where the owners say “welcome to Hot Air people,” or something similar. This means that other site owners are watching their own stats and HA might get a permanent link at one of those sites. This helps drive up traffic here.

Not to mention that it’s interesting to see what government and educational institutional organizations are accessing the pages. And you can even catch the Google Bot scanning out of Mountain view.

I see that Sitemeter is not all quite back to snuff yet.
I’ve asked some folks to visit my site to see if the sitemeter picks them up…. and It does not….

I was so P!ssed at sitemeter this morning and didn’t have the time to voice my complaint. Thankfully they came to their senses and are rolling back to their old format. I was about to cancel my account because I COULD NOT READ MY STATS.

Seriously, WHO thought this was a good idea?

Bye-bye SiteMeter [Updated]…

My wife loves looking through the SiteMeter stats on her blog (Linda’s Thoughts). Today she was frustrated to find she can no longer access those stats. SiteMeter redid their user interface for free accounts, so that it is very difficult……
