Stumbled Upon

Posted on February 21st, 2008 in Customary Drivel, Unsolicited Commentary by Deas

Hooooly cow. Can you spot the StumbleUpon traffic? I can. Over the last few days I’ve seen my counters shoot up. Approximately 16,000 unique visitors hit that second round of lolcats that I posted 2 weeks ago. What gets me is that out of that number, 35 people “liked” it and a few disliked it. 9 people (so far) have written reviews. I think 5 are positive (including my own…) and 4 are negative. And by negative I mean filled with an incredible vitriolic hatred similar to that found in YouTube comments. Why bother putting extra effort into announcing that you deplore a site you randomly came upon? Got me. But it sure is classy. It’s nice to get a head check once in a while, when I start feeling the urge to try and court the likes and dislikes of the internet. I’m glad I remembered that I don’t blog for popularity. Ha ha. There are just waaay too many people out there with whom I disagree. And it’s absurd to fight that flow. Ha ha. In case you haven’t seen it, this comic frame encapsulates it.
