Popten
2009 was a hell of a year for Popten, the pop culture/top ten blog which I write for, edit and manage. This year has seen our little blog grow into more than an online home for our ten original bloggers, averaging twenty thousand unique visitors a month, with a stable of 15-20 writers providing regular, superlative content. We were recently cited in the Chicago Tribune, USA Today and The Onion, among others and journalists from the LA Times and Hollywood Reporter are guest blogging. We’ve also had a complete redesign, transforming Popten into an online magazine.
We decided to end the decade properly, having each of our authors contribute 1-4 Top Ten ____ of the Decade lists every day of December. From movies to storytellers to celebrity meltdowns, we managed to quantify the decade with almost thirty articles.
