OK, I'm going to do something here that some people won't like.I'm going to give Cindy Sheehan a huge boost.
How?
By linking to her blog.
Why should it matter? From her Sitemeter:
Total: 332
Average Per Day: 5
Average Visit Length: 1:13
Last Hour: 0
Today: 20
This Week: 34
Five a day? Has she become so irrelevant that you can count the number of people who come to read her writings using the fingers on one hand?
Over the last 30 days, her peak traffic was 44 hits on the June 18. At the time I write this, her day's traffic is 20. . . .
Her website was created by Theron Parlin, a part-time web designer, so I would doubt this is technical problem.
I just expected something else. A couple of thousand hits a day from adoring fans at Code Pink and elsewhere. But a couple of dozen?
Maybe this is an example of the difference between the media and the people they serve. Cindy Sheehan still makes it in the papers and on TV with her fasts and her foreign trips to visit the likes of Hugo Chavez. But in the blogosphere, where you choose what news you want to read, people are going elsewhere.
Interesting.
