EZRA KLEIN v MATT YGLESIAS

yeah i wonder if hes as famous as he thinks he is

if that's 4m uniques it would make a bit more sense

its weird hes never written a book

for comparison at the height of election season nate silver was getting more traffic than that a day

well tbf ezra's web traffic is not 4 million random bozos in montana like one of the views is barack obama

he is worth like 1.5 views really

very not mysterious why an analytical business guy like bezos wouldnt want to write klein a big check for a site he wants to co own

well tbf ezra's web traffic is not 4 million random bozos in montana like one of the views is barack obama

does the president use ad block tho

all the ads will be native duh

Ezra hasn't yet found flattering TV glasses imo

in person he and Steve Kornacki blur into garrulous sincerity

hey michelle check out this list 10 things only 70s kids who are also the president will understand lol so true

'I don't think that's funny'
'oh yeah I guess...you're not the president'

Numbers are in - Richard Sherman piece on The http://MMQB.com drives 4.3M uniques yesterday - highest day in SI Digital history

lol i dont think thats the url youre looking for

http://mmqb.si.com

think i mentioned this before but you see how si cant quite make mmqb its own site, its url is a sub domain and theres si navigation in header and footer, where grantland is all its own stuff, much clearer more confident branding imo

politico's web traffic can't be that high either (relatively speaking) but I think they get by on the same idea, it's not how many it's who

in person he and Steve Kornacki blur into garrulous sincerity

may be, but in terms of their presentation and focus as cable-hosts, they're very different. kornacki might make a career out of investigating chris christie (it seems like the perfect story for kornacki), and maybe it will transform up into something of kornacki's own. but i always felt like hyper-wonky klein should have succeeded hayes on up, and kornacki should have been given another show. anyway, i hope that as part of his new entrepreneurial endeavors, klein gets more time on msnbc to be a policy wonk (i wish hayes got back to being a policy wonk, too, btw).

politico prob just has some evil billionaire investor set on the destruction of democracy funding it

one good thing about this is that we'll have to see the word 'wonk' less frequently

unless he calls it like webwonk or something horrible

you know he will still ride for WONK

thats him brand

hes a drag queen whos persona is WONK

new site new word

I can't believe he already published the first issue dude is amazing

very amazing work ethic truly a wunderkind

with their powers combined ezra could write articles about things before they happened and amazon could send you the paper before you wanted it

what a missed opportunity

this one chart is coming from inside your house

wait so where do u read ezra klein now?

look inside

your own butt

No doubt. Kornacki's a good reporter, and Christie's giving him a chance to carve his own identity (before this he flaunted his amazing knowledge of the life of Jerry Brown)

no ten million dollars inside of my butt last time i checked

should I post a gif

go for it

no

NYT has this wrong: There’s nothing more glamorous than a great CMS. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/22/business/media/ezra-klein-leaving-washington-post.html

sounds like hes going with vox and their world famous cms, iirc he was a frequent subtweeter at the posts cms

vox are v smart people imo and he would be wise to jump on board, theyve built huge properties in the most crowded fields in the verge and sbnation and other stuff too, and everyone says their cms is tite if youre into hat sort of thing

http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/21/5307992/inside-the-mind-of-a-fanboy

that's actually not the best example

is there a good new nyt paywall workaround?

"reset safari" if you use safari works
