Didn't move me one way or the other. I HOPING they find a way to make money with this. Why is it you seem to have an anti-LG agenda?
I love LG. I don't like Spin Doctors.

In entertainment like politics the spin doctors are a necessary evil. (Okay, in politics they're just evil) :twisted:

Here's the article: ClickZ News

It was pointed out numerous times in this thread and other places that this number was not even remotely accurate. The site did not have 350,000 unique visitors. The video in which the chat was announced had not even been viewed 1/2 that many times -- there was no way 350,000 people knew.

And yet although this number was exposed as inaccurate it was nevertheless presented as part of an advertising pitch? This seems like a flagrant lie, or even fraud. And if you're going to lie, at least know how to back it up.

There's a Web site called Alexa that tracks traffic at Web sites. Alexa exposes 350,000 unique visitors for the complete lie that it is.

Alexa rankings for lonelygirl15.com

Alexa reveals the truth -- that the amount of traffic at the site the day of Breechat was not even double the typical traffic -- and not even close to 350,000 people.

Doesn't Alexa only track users who have the Alexa Toolbar though?
I'm not arguing for either side, I just don't think that Alexa would be the most accurate way to judge the traffic.

Most leave with no notice. Spacie did explain why she was leaving, at least. It's sad to lose people who were really into it and posted regularly, but it IS always nice to see new fans come on and make their presence felt!
Wow... Suffer a little burnout and disappear for a month, just to discover Spacie has moved on in the interim? I was sure that I've missed a lot in the time I've been MIA, but I wasn't expecting that!

BTW... I'm BAAAACCCKKK... <lol>

'mute

edit... Oh... And I voted "Maybe, but they wanted fan interaction" or whatever that approximates :)
