My long-time friends at the Reason Foundation wish very much that they and
their programs could have the same kind of impact in the world that the
Wikimedia Foundation and its programs have.  Compare, for example, the Alexa
rankings of wikipedia.org and reason.com.

Full disclosure: I'm a contributing editor to Reason magazine.

Your comment about "Reason" carries with it at least two premises:

(1) That the Wikimedia Foundation's "impact" is a favorable one.  (Many
would disagree, at least according to Andrew Keen, the staff of Encyclopedia
Britannica and World Book, and just about every high school teacher I've
ever talked to about Wikipedia.)

(2) That Alexa rankings reflect "impact in the world".  If you've got
300,000 living persons checking their biography every day for defamation,
I'm sure the Alexa rankings are going to notice that.
