From Wired Revolver film :
“The web’s best blogs are honored here every year at the Weblog Awards, aka “The Bloggies,” now in their ninth year. The top prize for 2009’s edition were handed out to blogger and photographer Ree Drummond for her site, Confessions of a Pioneer Woman.”
Congrats, Ree!
At South By Southwest today, Ask A Ninja’s Kent Nichols explained how his budding media empire makes so much money: The “voodoo bullshit” performed by “sweaty people who drink,” aka, the ad-sales team at FM. While we all do our best to keep our perspiration to a minimum (no comment on drinking), he does have a point. And even if I didn’t agree with the characterization, let’s be honest: I’d never pick a fight with Ninja.
But what is it with the ad-sales-people-are-like-farm-animals stuff? Here’s Arrington at TechCrunch in a comment last week. (The original post discusses FM’s value, valuation and acquisition rumors from a few months back.) A stud?! I’m blushing.
Kent and Mike, thank you both for the kind (and evocative) words!
