Emptywheel: Over 1 Million Amazing Readers Served
Sometime after 2AM ET last night, emptywheel.net received its 1 millionth visitor.
I had planned a big party to celebrate the milestone, but have been buried, as always and missed the event.
But I do want to thank all of the readers here who contribute so much to the discussion. And thanks to Jim and bmaz, who help keep the site hopping.
If you’re so inclined, please consider donating so we can keep this site going for another million readers.
Thank you for all of your hard work. I have read you nearly everyday once you you started writing at FDL. I wish more people (and prosecutors) were interested in well-documented facts and reasonable insights that you provide. You made it an honor to be called a DFH!
@DeadLast:

Word!
It must be the Trash Talk threads that boost the visitor count now. Those run slowly on a vintage desktop computer when comments start to exceed 100.
Plus, if you are including early statistics, I would imagine Libby and Fitzgerald sending cadres of counselors to EW’s web to find out who did not quite get their press presentations as coordinated as ought to have been the case. I even could swear I heard Pound Ridge’s own ‘Ari Shapiro’ sign off in an NPR slanted reportage blurb last week. Yikes!
JodyDog is likely to have sicced the ‘bots on the site, too, incrementing the site meter wildly. Bless her Irish beer loving heart.
Sometimes this new site has interesting advertisements, too; like now!
Jack Balkin had a minor celebration when his site passed x million a few years back. You’re in the running, Ew.! Here’s to another Hillman Prize for journalism; will deserved.
And blowjob. Also.
Congratulations!
I had no idea, but I do not think I should be surprised. Excellence always rises above.
Thank you and your contributors your insights and analysis.
Congratulations, Marcy, thank you. Thanks too to bmaz and Jim. Here’s to many more visitors.
team blowjob!!!!

Many thanks and much gratitude to you Marcy, bmaz, and Jim. What razor sharp minds. I used to be able to attempt to keep up. Now, with a special needs child, I feel like I’m auditing. But you are my go-to place once little one is in bed. The world should thank you all.
@posaune: Please give the little one an extra hug from me tonight.
@Jim White: Thanks, Jim. will do.

Then as it was, then again it will be…

Wow. Pretty awesome; thank you to all who come here.
congrats on the million and best wishes for millions more!
thoroughly enjoy our excursions “thru the weeds” that have grown around, in and through the “democratic republic” that the u.s. constitution describes.
Congrats! Much deserved.
people come to this site to read its no-bullshit journalism and its interpretation of others’ journalism.

The first million is always the hardest. Congrats and hoping for 150 million.

Wow! Congratulations Marcy! Congratulations bmaz and Jim! This is the best place around to get really excellent news reporting and analysis. The commenting community is amazing, too. I appreciate you all!
Happy Millionth!
Hurrah.
I don’t believe the numbers – it’s a conspiracy of pro-Obama government employees who think they’re entitled to their jobs and know they’ll lose them under … what?
Oh.
Congratulations, EW, BMAz and crew.
And, blowjob.
Sweet Judy Blew Lies!!!! Amazing news. Congratulations to you, Bmaz, Jim, et al!!

Donating to Emptywheel is the best value for your Dollar !
Tweeted. Recommended.
I’m just flat stealing by sending emptywheel only $20/month.
Wow, Marcy. If a basic teeley unit is 2000 readers who see a given factual or conceptual correction or clarified interpretation, then you have achieved a teeley potential level of 500 in what feels like a relatively short time.
That is shedding a lot of light in one independently sited blog.
Thank you. Considered thought. Day in and day out. A market for that, huh ? Thank you.
I will donate within the next two months. Congratulations.
Also, you did this without any help from Facebook who keep your likes and shares from being seen at least half the time.
Damn. Time to get a bigger liquor cabinet. Where’s bmaz when you need ‘im…
Congrats EW!
Great news to hear. Congrats.
And they told two friends, and so on and so… hoping it is very soon that you reach the next million.
Marcy is a national treasure.
My sincere congratulations.
I can’t believe some national syndicate hasn’t snatched her up and stuffed her pockets full of money to keep her quiet yet.
She is dangerous to the PTB.
More please.

Congratulations. Here’s to the next million.
