Hat's off to the gang at Soundpolitics.com!
Posted by gschroe at September 28, 2006 05:21 PM | Email ThisLayout: Better format, more compressed so one can see more posts, informative sidebars, clean minimal ads.
Extra Features: Public blog, Sound Events, Community Resources such as the Voter DB.
Staff: Group blog. Multiple editors, varied viewpoints, lots of good quality posts. Several well respected local journalists and lawyers.
Comment Thread: Little spam, mostly sane, mostly good debate, profanity and extreme loons not tolerated.
Technology: Continually updated servers, spam control, database and other extra features. Stefan knows what he is going with IT.
Readership: 3 to 4 times that of competitors. Very good reputations amongst mainstream media, not afraid to quote SP, Embraces all of WA.
Proprietor: Stefan is a standup guy. He's not in this to use it as a soapbox specifically for his own career, or just to inflame the readership as traffic bait. Stefan routinely attends community events and is very well respected in the conservative community, with guest radio hosting during key market hours, etc.
In short there is no contest. HA is unfortunately very juvenile. David Goldstein is using his blog mostly as a platform both to further his own radio or entertainment career and as a refuge for extreme profanity and other antisocial behaviors that are the root of the divided, angry extremist culture amongst many on the left.
Congrats to Stefan and SP indeed.
