The New York Times seems to know who we are.... A mention of both go2net and Silicon Investor in today's Sunday New York Times. And the first is on Page 12 of section 1, A great placement on the National Report Page. "Dot-Com Leaders Await a Shakeout of Losers" But Many Say It Won't Happen To Them The first paragraph talks about Drugstore.com and the second paragraph starts: John Keister, the president and co-founder of Go2Net in Seattle, a network of Web sites, said a stock market shakeout would be "a very healthy thing" for the industry. "Not everyone should be a winner here" he added. This last quote is large and highlighted in the article. And then on page 8 of the Business section, in an article titled "The Making of a Market Bubble: Spreading the Blame Around" One of the very last paragraphs about spreading the blame discusses how daytraders are ar fault (oh yeah, blame it on us hundreds of share lot daytraders not the big boys dumping thousands of shares at a time after upgrading to STRONG BUY target the moon) Not to Mention Day Traders If any one group played the most public role in fueling the Web frenzy, it was day traders and other online investors, many of them congregating in Internet chat rooms like Silicon Investor and Raging Bull. They could sometimes inflate and burst bubbles in a single day. It then goes on to highlight a few tout like posts about the Autobytel.com IPO, without identifying where they came from. And no mention of the Yahoo board for once when talking about "Hot Internet Chat Rooms". Having read the New York Times almost daily since I was a teenager, I've come to respect them more than any other newspaper in the world. So it's nice to see they not only know who we are but have taken real notice - enough to mention us twice in one issue by two different writers.
