Although NewYorkTimes.com is going through a slow patch, this week we pulled even, almost ready to break into the top 100.
There was a cute exchange about this at the WebCred conference about Wikipedia buckling under catastrophic success (with people from the Times in the room) :
====== Jonathan Zittrain: "If the front page of the New York Times were a wiki that just froze to the version that existed at 6:00 a.m. ... they'd have a different set of problems than you would, and I worry that you are about to inherit those."
Jimmy Wales: "Yeah, they might... but our traffic is very, very close now to the traffic of the New York Times."
Dave Winer: "And it never freezes." ====== http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/webcred/?p=66 (day 2 PM)
I'm sad to see that the Main Page has been frozen now for such a long time. That was not meant to be permanent, and I hope we can unfreeze it again soon.
