    Never mind the numbers: look at the DEMOGRAPHICS! The $0-$30,000 annual income group is by far the majority of her readership. Middle-aged poors, basically.

    Who's advertising on her site, Walmart? Tar-jhay? Home Depot? Metamucil.

    Considering that the Hollywood Reporter is going Internet and Variety looks vulnerable, I think 625K for Nikki is a bargain.

    Not saying how i know, but those numbers have gone way down from late 2008. Interesting.

    So dissing David Remnick as a "New Jersey dentist's son" in her riposte to the New Yorker Finke profile didn't boost her traffic?

    I truly LOL-ed at that quip. Nikkisville showing her snob colors.. She grew up at the Plaza Hotel, rubbing elbows with the NYC elites, and she so clearly LOATHES that a boy from the burbs runs The New Yorker now.

    Two things can happen. She'll broaden the appeal of her current site, and lose the movers & shakers (would that impact advertisers? How would they even know?).

    Or she'll come up with another, "related" site with a broader appeal (the Kitchen Finke?).

    This story is ridiculous and reeks of bitterness. I'm not a big Nikki Finke fan, but COME ON, she's only human. Obviously taking a few days off here and there hasn't stopped her from making a lot of money off her blog, and it doesn't seem to have caused media interest in her to wane, as you just wrote an entire freakin' post about how she's not a robot. Sheesh, lay off.

    Jesus, Cook, yours must be made of titanium.

    I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze Nikki Finke.

    I demand a refund! -- oh, wait.

    Doesn't she have MS as well? It's possible to have MS and be relatively asymptomatic, but she might not be that lucky.

    Fail to see the point of this.


    Next post up will be a shocking expose of missed deadlines in the webcomic industry, no doubt.

    Maybe she should go get a new head shot taken on one of those days off.

    She's so intense/crazy and all that but I'm not going to begrudge somebody days off at a blog. She's not exactly conducting the war in Afghanistan. TV and movie screens aren't going to go dark if she were to say "I have taken a day off to watch cuckold porn and shitty reruns."

    One screenshot in the crowd caught my eyee:"Fewer Holiday Postings." Nikki Finke is no ordinary rank-and-file employee punching a timeclock - she's a workhorse who post around the clock, 7 days a week. So her new bosses shold probably take that into account. (And probably do - they know what they bought. One thing you don't need to worry about with Nikki Finke is her work ethic.)

    As a similarly unreliable but nowhere near as well-paid a blogger as Nikki, I am surprised to find myself wanting to defend her on this score - esp. because the very limited exchange I had with her in the past was, on her part, pretty unnecessarily rude.

    I guess I'll limit the defense to saying that surely the obsessiveness with which she attacks some of these stories, turning up real scoops no one else can get, simply predicts there will be times she drops offline for a bit. The mind and body just try balance it out after a while, esp. if there is an issue like diabetes to factor into the mix.

    Odd, I never expected to feel any sympathy for her. I'll probably lose that in irritation the next time I see more than one "Toldja" on her blog's index page.

    It only got funny once I realized how long the scroll was through all her excuse posts.
