First is the Worst

Posted by Nicholas Cote on November 21, 2008

Nate Silver breaks down the varying degrees of success of popular political sites (including his own, the excellent FiveThirtyEight.com) at retaining readership since the election.  Unsurprisingly, The Atlantic is still kicking ass.

As this is my first post (in my latest attempt at blogging after many previous misadventures, anyway), I have no readership to retain.  And so I can only go up from here.  So here we go.

Will the second post be the best?  Will the third feature a nerd with a hairy chest?  Wait and see.  (But if this blog is to be successful, hopefully the answer to both of those questions will be “No.”)
