#1 and #2
The disparity between 1 and 2 on the Most Read is pretty glaring. It’s surprising there were not more comments.
The Power Of “A List” Sites I Guess
#1 made it on Stumble, Reddit and Fark somehow. That meant many many views from people who would never normally vist LISNews. For a few days the rest of the world was looking at us, well, looking at one story here at least. So that #1 post will probably be #1 for ever now. At least until something else makes the rounds.
Translation
So what LISNews needs is more mainstream controversial postings?
That could be arranged…
