I'll give Ben one dollar American if he blurts out, "In fact, Brian, Nick Denton applied The Incredible Shrinking Ray on his own blog: Consumerist!"

Just curious about this - do the networks scope out bloggers to interview, or does Gawker have a media relations thing going on? This is exciting stuff. NBC Nightly News is a pretty big deal.

Ben, much like Britney Spears will whore herself out for the pop music, you will whore yourself out for the grocery shrink ray.

good job, ben. curious that i've never seen anyone from nate's pets gizmodo or gawker on the nitely news.

well, when the gawker network siteviews jump thursday, i'm sure it will have nothing whatsoever to do with the appeal of your stories with the masses. nope, not at all.
