Interesting.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve gotten linked to by some high profile sites, Memorandum, Crooks and Liars, Vanity Fair (Thanks B. Thanks, Jim) and as usual there’s been a spike in traffic for a couple of days after each one. Which is great. Welcome, new readers!
But by far the greater uptick in traffic is coming from links from email platforms. Almost all of it linking to the Model of a Modern U.S. President video. The traffic has been constant for well over a week. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years blogging.
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I think it’s something other than just lots of people are enjoying the video. When I posted it I suggested that it needed to go viral and I think it has.
I don’t think it’s a result of my suggestion. I think what I’m seeing is a demonstration of how things go viral.
Email is more effective than blogs for passing things along.
I’m sure people on our side know this. It’s how the Right communicates with itself. And it makes sense. Far more people read their own email than read blogs.
My question is, are we doing it too?
We’d better be.
At any rate, the blonde has been in a fury about the Rand Paul goon who stomped on a woman’s head while his fellow Rand Paul goons held her down. She wants the whole world to know who and what these Right Wingers are and she asked me to post the video.
Now, the video is all over the liberal blogs and on Twitter and on Facebook. But has it gone viral via email yet?
Let’s try to help it make it out there.
I’m giving it its own post below so anyone you email it to doesn’t have suffer through my commentary.
