Ellis Island

One thing to keep in mind is exactly how much bandwidth and disk space that will chew up. We might be able to support it, but it may also come at the cost of x-many itsy-bitsy bloggers.

Mr Mouse, you've been into the Roquefort again, haven't you? I can always tell.

I swore I licked my nose well enough to remove all signs of that!

So am I to understand that we are only seekinglow level bloggers and don't want to go after anyone who actually draws numbers?

I thought the idea was that if political, it had to have some basis in reality. Hesiod is a whackjob, and I'm not saying that because I disagree with most of what he says. He's a muckraker and rumor-monger.

Although I do not agree with his point of view, his blog is well written. It would certainly give the group a different viewpoint and "possibly" bring some additional traffic to our other sites. I would argue that most people reading poliblogs traffic to sites that blog that particular subject matter. At least his site doesn't degenerate into name-calling.

I would qualify my Yay vote as to what it is we are trying to achieve with new membership... broadening our eclectic appeal, additional traffic, additional viewpoints...

It's a left-wing attack site. No insight, no analysis, no regard for truth, just cherry-picking of news items to spin into anti-Bush hatred.

I have no time for this sort of nonsense no matter what side of politics it comes from.

No sense of humour, either. And he doesn't link to Susie... Though Susie is probably glad of that.

To answer Kang's question -

There is indeed a bias in favour of the less well-established bloggers. Glenn Reynolds doesn't need our help, for example. Plus, he'd chew up about 40% of our available bandwidth...

But medium-size blogs, if they're rational, particularly if they're fun or funny, sure. I'm not about to turn anyone down just because they get more readers than me (as several of the MuNu bloggers indeed do).

Might I add that I'm not one of the aforementioned MuNu blogs that receives lots of traffic...
