The Wacky World of Worcester Webstats - InCity Times etc.

In our last post we made a revealing discovery - the Internet's reach in Wusta really sucks. Raises the question, what the heck are the locals doing for entertainment? If not online, then where?

What's new? WTAG and WCRN are still competing for dominance of the local airwaves and Q has made it known that he's no longer blogging buddies with Jordan Levy. Geez, dem Wusta bloggers, always having falling-outs. None the less Jordan Levy is still spewing his less than astute interpretations of current events and distorted political opinions on the air. Welcome to Wusta eh?

We can discount the pickup in WTAG’s stats because that iheart gizmo has skewed the metrics - drawing visitors from across the country. And WCRN spiked. Maybe because of The Gary & Gary Show? Its of no importance anyway, cause neither is in the blogging business.

And ole T&G is still raking in the pageviews. Um, recall that some time ago we predicted their online demise. But the cyber-oracle failed us. The numbers are way up there and trending upwards. So what’s the attraction? Don’t think Dianne has that many admirers. Most likely its the court records. The locals know journalism when they see it.

Of course no Webstats post would be complete without our favorite blog the rancid InCity Times. Funny, over the last couple months Rosie’s stats have gone crazy – up, down, then up. Can’t be Rosie, she denies gaming them, but still won’t back up her purported stats claim. Or circulation. Or any claim for that matter. Geez, what is journalism coming too?

And now it seems the ole girl has posted a fake letter about some kid wanting to join a reputable newspaper. Yes, you heard that right - reputable. Of course she denied being reputable. So having reviewed little Devlin’s bookreports, Rosalie Tirella  decided they were too good for InCity Times. Instead she wants the kid to hang around the court house to track her new found beau (Dorman) in case he’s flirting with the patrons.

We haven’t seen the ole girl so excited by one guy since she trashed her last beau’s car and wound up in court. She really has the hots for the guy. Got his house and everything online. But alas, he’s married. But she’s determined. She’s gonna get her man. By the way Rosie run a spellcheck before posting. That’s what real journalists do. Geez…

As usual we tossed in everybody's least favorite TV station - WCCA. Not much reach there; they’re not in the blogging business. But the number is indicative. Any idea what WCCA's cable reach is? Well according to management it’s about 50,000 monthly. Really doubt it. Somehow progressives have an aversion to backing up their facts.

So it does seem the locals have better things to do with their time than watch TV. Hey got an idea how to boost WCCA’s pageviews – put cartoons online. Surely there’s a local audience for it. Thinking The 3 Stooges could get some ideas on how to publicly humiliate themselves or just relax when they’re not making asses of themselves on the Internet.

So that’s it for this month. Hope this was insightful. Wait! We got a new addition to our rogues gallery, its local teapartier and cyber-whiner Bill Randell's blog: worcesterma.blogspot.com.

A whopping 728 visitors! Some 20 visitors a day. Not what you thought of a local shaker & mover and disreputable member of the local business community would draw. Maybe if he focused on posting breakfast ads instead of denial of service attacks, he’d boost his stats.

So there you have it. Wusta in all its ignominious glory.
