Seinsess – 3rd on Whyte
There’s pretty much no way you don’t know what kind of business lies behind this sign.
Letter from the Editor – Sally – July 6/09
Welcome to our fourth week of operation. I’m not going to lie to you guys (I couldn’t if I tried, you just know me too well), I’m starting to get a little worn out. In case this wasn’t readily apparent, Jeff and I run the edmontonian in our off – hours; we still both maintain full-time jobs and pseudo-social lives. But when I’m asleep at the wheel, and ready to crumple into a sleepy pile, I take a moment to reflect upon our astounding success, with less than a month under our belts.
We’ve posted more than 50 Edmonton specific pieces. We’re getting 150+ unique visitors to the site a day. We have, to date, accrued 115 followers on twitter (only about 12 of those are friends humouring us, or women with names like ‘Tawni” who have just posted “new HOT PIXX”.) This last bit is particularly flattering, as the whole twitter crew are a pretty savvy bunch when it comes to media (yes, I say that despite the fact that as of 8:30 this morning, ‘#farts’ was a trending topic).
Anyway, suffice it to say that we love you guys, and we are so appreciative of the support. It keeps us forging on even when we have no energy left. So thanks for that! And thanks for your contributions to date – we’re nothing without you, Edmonton. Never leave us!
As always, we hope to hear from you in the comments, or via email, facebook or twitter. Story ideas, questions about the city you’d like answered, blogs or sites you think we should know about, pictures you’ve taken, people who should be profiled – whatever you’ve got, Edmonton, we want some of that.
Have a banner week, people.
