Metafilter in the Media March 7, 2001 2:10 PM Subscribe
Would it be too, I don't know...conceited to create a press page that keeps track of mentions of metafilter in the media? Sometimes it's nice to re-read good writeups of the site when it's 2am, and I'm at the end of my rope, responding to the umpteenth request for a new feature :).
Hell no! Matt, you need to do more to show what a really incredible, positive, (dare I say it?) damn near magical thing you've made here.
I was having a conversation recently and came to the conclusion that modesty is out. Shameless self-promotion is in, especially if you actually have something to promote.

There's no shame in selling sizzle if you've actually got the steak.

good. now I'll need everyone's help digging up the mentions. I can remember the two or three most recent ones, but that's about all.
Gimmie a couple days, and I'll setup a press thread that people can find stuff from, and post links to.

Dear Media Baron, (or is that "Mr." Howie these days).
When/if we find mentions, how shall we post them - what if the mention isn't linkable, just post a relevant snippet with attribution?

Matt, you've worked hard on this - no need to wonder if you should be able to take credit for it.
Granted, WE do make up the content, but there are lots of places for people to write and post links. Don't be bashful because you got it right.

Matt: I think it'd be kinda cool just to see what the media has to say (and how often) about the MeFi community, but ultimately, it's your show.
Thanks for asking though!

It's just a natural progression. A mention, here, a mention there, now a whole ARTICLE about MeFi from Slate...
It's fairly simple. Kokogiak's got it right. The reason Yahoo's stock trading was halted? Matt's getting bought out, just like EGroups, er, I mean, Yahoo! Groups!
