Hip Hop Bloggers “If I Ruled the Blogosphere”

Hip Hop Bloggers “If I Ruled the Blogosphere”

By Ryan Van Etten on 05/26/2010

“You’ve just got to be open and free, because that’s the way people want to get content on the web”, says Dallas Penn. “Don’t be afraid of someone stealing your work so much, just have more work to give, and, if people are stealing it, you know what you’re onto something. You’re moving in the right direction.” continued Penn. Frank Talk summarized it in poetic terms, “If they’re stealing from you, [then] you’re on the right track.”

Facebook More Traffic Than Google [Stats]

Facebook More Traffic Than Google [Stats]

By Ryan Van Etten on 04/27/2010

Here’s some graphical perspective on Facebook’s growth via estimated traffic data from Quantcast and Compete. The numbers are significantly different between the sources but the basic trend and relative traffic difference between Facebook and Google is evident: Facebook is a rocket, or, rather a full-blown planet with enough gravity to start a galaxy—the data shows it surpassed Google in traffic in late 2009.
