#2 Dunno which sucks worse:

The .2 percent ROI to date or the $4 million price tag for a web site redesign.

#3 Hilarious. When I was blogging a lot--at my peak--I had a few more than 35 regular readers. And I was a NOBODY.

They might as well save overhead and startup newsday.blogspot.com.

#5 It's almost too good to check, but it turns out that the paid option is for people who don't have HBO locally to Long Island or a Newsday subscription. So it's for non-locals and folks off the grid. Since Newsday is no longer a paper with international or even national aspirations, this is more about the guys in the bullpen pissed about becoming a local paper of no greater importance than anything else.
