No. 4 on Buzzblog’s most-read list

Opinion
Sep 5, 20061 min

I’m on vacation until Sept. 11. Rather than let the blog go dark — or worse, see me do work on vacation — I’ve decided to emulate network TV and line up a bunch of re-runs. Each day (M-F) will feature one of the 10 most-read entries (descending order) since Buzzblog debuted Feb. 1. Enjoy … or not. Either way, I’m off doing as little as possible.

No. 4: Google News and the gay marriage vote

My favorite part of doing this item was the string of hilariously vitriolic comments it generated on the freak-news aggregation site Fark.com. Where else are you going to see pictures of Ben (The World’s Funniest Nixon Apologist) Stein and me in the same thread?

Recap of the Top 10 so far:

No. 5: What telecom mergers really mean

No. 6: Rule No. 1 when doing PR for an antispam vendor: Don’t spam

No. 7:  10 IT brand names that just won’t die

No. 8: Google beats porn … but not sex

No. 9: Here’s why you can’t find a domain name

 No. 10: Your washer’s calling and the dryer’s on IM
