Ask MeFi made Business Week's Best of the Web list for "Research" September 16, 2005 4:19 PM Subscribe
I just realized today that Ask MeFi made Business Week's Best of the Web list for "Research" but I didn't notice in time to have everyone stuff the ballot box on public voting so we got last place. heh.
Yay us!

So, since it's officially the best of the web, can I make an FPP of Ask.Me?

No. Get back in your kennel or you'll get the hose again.

i wouldn't be so proud--we're really good at providing market research because there are so many product/service questions.

Why make it easy for the moneyed masses? If they're so damn good at research, they would have found us already.

I'd read MightyGoods more often if their damn RSS feed stated it was updated, for whatever reason my Feed on Feeds script thinks it never updates.
Hooray for Ask MeFi, last in the polls, first in our hearts, or something like that right?

We made Business Week? Awesome. If we make a blurb in the Economist that makes us actually corporate.

AskMe is already having trouble scaling. The last thing we need is a horde of mouth-breathers bigger than the one we got on November 18th cluttering it with their idiotic Dear Abbey and cat hairball questions. Less is more.

Defective Yeti, however, has beaten the Onion in their "humor" category! (and stuffonmycat.com, but we all saw that coming). Yay, shadowkeeper!

This is worrying, and something to watch for, given this news and publicity: WalMart Infects the Blogosphere - Except it's Super Secret, so Shhhhh ... ---... I found out that krempasky at RedState.org is working as a node for the WalBorg: "I've recently taken a position with Edelman in DC, the world's largest independent public relations firm.

The list was aided, in no small part, by our readers. Some of the best, such as the tech news site Digg.com and the great group advice site Ask Metafilter, came from sharp-eyed readers and have become some of our new favorites.
Awesome praise, and I like Business Week just fine, thanks. Great work, Matt; AskMe really is one of the most simple and effective advice sites I've ever seen.

You should probably just assume that everyone you meet on the Internet is being paid by the organization you most hate in the world. That way you won't be surprised if it actually turns out to be true.
