10,000 Blogs and 300,000 Comments . . . And Going Strong

We often follow milestone on the blog such as our recently passing the 13,000,000 view mark. Today we have another such moment to mark. The “Hunger Games” blog below is our 10,000th blog! We also hit today our 300,000th comment!

I want to again thank our weekend bloggers: David Drumm, Mark Esposito, Gene Howington, Michael Spindell, Eliane Magliaro, Mike Appleton, and Larry Rafferty.

Of course the greatest thanks goes to all of our regular contributors. In the last 24-hours, the top commenters were Idealist 707, Malisha, Matt Johnson, Rafflaw, Anonymously Yours, Dredd, and bettykath.

The blog generally places within the top ten most visited legal blogs in the world, though we are currently at 12th on AVVO. There are certainly bigger dogs on the blog but we still view ourselves as a breed apart.

  2. Now that we’re all so chummy, let me ask: If somebody makes a movie called “The Innocence of Bloggers,” where will we gather and what will we attack? :mrgreen:

  4. “We are not good because we rule; we rule because we are good.” (mespo)

    Or is it just excellent Monday morning quarterbacking? 😉

  5. I LOVE READING YOUR NEWS,I WOULDN’T HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT CHRISTIAN VISHNU IF IT WER’NT FOR YOU,N A FEW OF US ON FACEBOOK WERE GOING TO BURN THE KORAN IN LONDON.AMERICA CANADA SPAIN ETC ETC …..WELL DONE JOHNATHAN

  6. What OS and then PP said. Thanks again for the mention.

    Beside the general freedom here, I am amazed that a blawg would give non-lawyers a chance to express themselves. No put downs on that account. Thanks to our legal eagles.***

    The “finer things of law” do come up, but even those can become instructive if grasped at the öevel of root principles.

    ***A comment more appropriate in other places:
    “It is hard to soar like an eagle, when the company is a bunch of turkeys/buzzards/takeyourpick.”

    My thoughts exactly.

    Dredd with a world population of 7 billion people …
    =======================================
    P.S. To say that 5 million deaths a year is only a small percentage of the 7 billion world population is tantamount to saying “but think about how small a percentage 10,000 Blogs and 300,000 Comments compared to all blogs and all comments in the blogosphere.

    I know that was not your intent … just sayin’ …

    Dredd with a world population of 7 billion people, I would estimate that 100 million people die every year. ….. So far I have managed to stay out of that statistic. 😮 )
    =====================================
    It is difficult to isolate the statistic.

    That study by 20 governments indicates 5 million a year are already dying from global warming each year:

    It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

    (ibid).

    The one characteristic of all climate change estimates heretofore is that they have been gross underestimations.

    I have no doubt that this one is too (ibid).

  13. How long will this good blog and the others last:

    More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments said on Wednesday.

    (Perfect Storm: New Global Ground Zero). A civilization without blogs is not a pretty picture to contemplate.

  16. You happen to have a great blog…. You always present interesting topics for discussion. And you almost always accept whatever comments readers like myself write, with very little censorship…. You are well appreciated…. I know I’ll keep coming back.

  17. Congrats, JT.

    I’d still like to see a “Suggestion Box” forum.

    Speaking of which, comment on the growing Massachusetts State Crime Lab scandal would be welcomed. There are more than 1,000 people now in prison on evidence that may have been tainted, manufactured or assembled by this lab, largely in drug cases.

  18. Your constant readers/commenters should start a bragging contest over who has clicked/yakked the most out of those 13M-300K.

  19. Congratulations on sticking to this project. I know it probably gets tedious at times, but you continue to come up with a wonderful mix of serious legal stories and news, plus lighthearted material. The weekend guest bloggers also add a lot, by providing fresh voices and points of view. This has to be one of the most fun blogs on the intertoobz.

  20. Congratulations…..Yet again…. Your not using Chicago math or New York Accounting are you…..

    I do my part one post at a time…..
