(unless it was launched in August of 2005, couldn't quite tell from the article) Going to Alexa ~ 1,100 after a few months is no small feat. YouTube didn't even pull that off. (hmm. makes me think the numbers don't quite add up then) I don’t get it either — but it did say the site has shot to Alexa ~ 1,100ish range after launching just several months prior.

I believe that King and Teare worked with Mike Arrington while he was at RealNames.

This caught my attention because of the investor quote at the end, I just couldn't believe the reporter did throw in a WTF when the guy said he doesn't know anything about the technlogy he just invested in. you are absolutely right, but with the advent of things like techmeme these pubs are getting more exposure and that means they need to step up their game.
