4Chan Gets Feature in Major Media

The Wall Street Journal and time.com both have surprising articles about 4chan, the image forum at the origin of Anonymous' "fight" against Scientology. 4chan is describe as the source of several fast spreading memes which makes businessmen jealous.

Note however that neither source say even a single word about about Scientology or Anonymous' protests.

Here are a couple of excerpts:

"You may not realize it, but 4chan has probably touched your life. Possibly inappropriately. 4chan is unusual in several ways. It's extremely large and active; it gets 8.5 million page views a day and 3.3 million visitors a month. Since moot started it in 2003, those visitors have put up 145 million posts. By some metrics, 4chan is the fourth largest bulletin board on the Net.:

"Over the last few years, 4chan.org has become one of the most talked-about sites when it comes to launching new memes. "

"A book based on the site is coming this fall for Gotham Books."

"A large part of the site's success is its emphasis on anonymity. Users are not required to provide a working email address or any other personal information, a standard practice for other online communities like Facebook or MySpace. "

Inside a Church of Scientology

Latest Fad video from the CoS, that shows several sights inside the orgs. However, a lot is spent on interviews, which spoils things a little. With all the new historic buildings the CoS aquired recently they could have done something a bit better. Maybe these are not ready/restored yet.

Daily Argus Hamilton

This news reserves the right to quotes even off-topics news-jokes from Argus Hamilton :-) Here:

"The Group of Eight leaders gave a toast Monday with sake cups worth a thousand dollars apiece. They are made of wood, rimmed with gold and inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The reason they're so valuable is that each cup is filled with unleaded premium."

"President Bush met with reporters in Tokyo Sunday with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda. Everyone was very tense. An international incident was avoided when President Bush did not try to pronounce his name on camera, and just called him Buddy."
