No one calls me out? Not even on outdated vernacular like “pink slip”?

That hasn’t happened since diggity-odd six,bet’s off.

I won’t list at all on Compete.com, as it just lists blogspot, but on average I get a few hundred uniques a day.

Now if you look at the engaged users I’d bet pink slips I’d beat atleast 50% of that list.

I’m sure the same can be said of many local sites not mentioned on that list.

The point of the liveblog wasn’t to transcribe. So since you can’t listen to the livefeed or watch the video, I don’t know what else to tell you.

If you thought the liveblog was painful to read, I’d say it’s a pretty good reflection of how painful it was to sit through the forum.

It’s actually pretty hard to capture the conversation and stay engaged in the discussion. The liveblog captured our on-the-spot reaction. And now that we’ve all slept on it, there’s plenty of reflective discussion ongoing. So read through our comments, Bob’s comments at MPR, and Chuck’s comments.

Had we not been asked to liveblog it, I probably would have liveblogged it anyway, and there would have been a lot less there, because I would have listened a little more and gone for broader concepts.

My biggest beef is that the structure of the forum somewhat discouraged audience participation.

Ed: I like the stats, I’m working on a user engagement formula, and technorati stats are part of the equation. It’s fairly clear that marketers, like me, prefer engaged content consumers, than passive content consumers. Compete.com stats for traffic are great, but most of the top sites lack any engaged content consumer. Mnspeak is a great example of a small be engaged audience.

Chuck: Are we still talking about blogger ethics? Gawd! Doesn’t everyone know by now that DeRusha gets all his stories from us? I kid.

In the meanwhile, MnSpeak’s own Rich debuts his political blog at Rake. Worth checking out.

I assumed they were rankings when I read this, “The sites they named are ordered below roughly from most- to least-mentionedor, if you will, from the usual suspects to some intriguing lesser-knowns.”

It sounds like they were ranked, roughly, based on how often they were mentioned.

I wondered the same thing, until I saw comments be posted for 24+ hours and then disappear.
