Russia Says It’s Not The War
Posted by runningclam on August 9, 2008
This is screenshot of the Georgia related Reuters AlertNet page.
While Russian military forces taking Tskhinvali under control, Russian bombs are falling in vicinity of the Georgian capital Tbilisi… Russians are blaming their not pro-Putin neighbours. This time Ukrane - another ex-Soviet country that’s not treating Russia as the only superpower in the ex-Soviet territory and try to make friends with the U.S. and NATO - long time ‘potential enemy’ of the Russia - was attacked by the Russian Orwellian mass media.

The War Has Began
Posted by runningclam on August 8, 2008
Georgian news agencies have reported that the Russia has moved 150 (one hundred and fifty) tanks and other armed vehicles into the Georgian city of Ckhinvali - the capital of the South Osetia region. Russian news websites and governmentally controlled TV stations are reporting that fact also, but they say it is the support for the peacemaker forces that are already in the region. But Russians also adding that they will not tolerate the Georgian agression aganest want-to-be-the-part-of-russia region.
In a few hours the situation could turn into full scaled war between Georgia and Russia.

WoW Naming
Posted by runningclam on July 29, 2008
Recently I’ve thought that this will be a good idea to create a male tauren World of Warcraft character and name him FatFreeMilk. Yep, a bit vulgar.
Not vulgar at all and safe for anyone: troll hunter’s feline named Trolleypuss.
And absolutely vulgar but fit for any race: any hunter named Yomoma with the pet named Beaver. Just pretend how it will be easy at the battlegrounds. Shoot them down while they are dealing with the Beaver <Yomoma’s pet>.

Social Networks Traffic Analysis
Posted by runningclam on June 19, 2008
This year I got pretty much traffic from the various social networks. Here is the list of the most trafficked of them:
- StumbleUpon - 153,837 unique visitors this year so far
- Reddit - 10,099
- Vykop.pl - 9,824
- Shoutwire - 1,407
- Meneame.net - 826
StubleUpon: You need to get at least 50 positive reviews to get high enough in the queue to get more than 10k unique visitors per day. The effect lasts for a several days. The tale is long and fluffy - if you have 10k U.V. a day while on the top of the queue, you will get 100k for the next month. Good link baiting abilities.
- 1st day - 9,653
- 2nd day - 13,293
- 3rd day - 10,040
- 4th day - 8,274
- 5th day - 7,893
- 6th day - 7,883
- 7th day - 7,357
- 8th day - 6,684
- 9th day - 5,315
- than two weeks plateau around 4k unique visitors a day
- and after that - several months of ~300 UV per day
Reddit: hitting the front page will give approximately 1.5k unique visitors every hour you are on it (depending on time and news title). To hit the front page you need to get at least 30-40 points (up votes minus down votes) in the first hour after submit and keep this trend running. Top news on Reddit have up to 800 points. The tale is short and thin. Quite good link baiting abilities.
Vykop.pl - Polish 100% Digg clone. Surprisingly high trafficked. You can get around 10k UV a day from its front page. The tale is very short and thin. You need at least 60 up votes in the first couple of hours to get to the front page. The only way to get attention for the non-Polish language sites - show a lot of interesting and self descriptory pictures.
Shoutwire: Digg clone. Easy to get to the top but low on traffic. No more than 1.5k per day from the front page.
Meneame.net: Spanish Digg clone. Mostly Spain traffic, with just about 10% South Amertican. Up to 20k a day from the front page. You need at least 50-60 up votes in the first couple of hours. The tale is short but quite fluffy. Spanish language or a lot of pics are essential.
