FunAdvice News & Buzz for 2009

Reuters takes note: FunAdvice is growing fast
They claim that niche social sites live in Facebook's shadow, however, I claim that article has bias, lacks relevance and really should have links to the companies they cite (you know, so the readers could actually experience them) For the record, they should have noticed that, per comScore, we are the 2nd fastest growing social network in the US...but, they neglected to mention that (and yes, we're growing faster than Facebook).

Jason Falls Social Media Explorer

BTS411 blog on business profiles FunAdvice
This is our news page, so, seeing a self serving interview about FunAdvice should not be a suprise...as, well, most of the news here we feature should be good stuff. Of course not all news is good news but this is one of the better ones.

TechCrunch crunches FunAdvice
You know the saying, the only bad press, is no press from the comments, it's half and half...from the ten plus emails Jeremy got from colleagues saying well done, this turned out better than expected. If you send us an email hoping to discuss an acquisition, be serious, do your homework, include a confidentiality notice and most importantly don't give some lame uber low ball figure. It'll make us laugh.

Cracked.com throws us some love
We know, it's just an article...and not only that, but cracked mentions us, among others, in this tax fraud piece however given the lack of people paying attention to us with more than 3.7 million visitors last month...well, Cracked is cool, well known and very funny. Thanks, guys!

Older News & Buzz from 2008

The Wall Street Journal quotes me on FunAdvice
The journal still mentions other sites, but I'm excited about what they said and just being included as for a small site like ours, being the seventh largest in a crowded category, a lot of media overlook us. We're flattered, and touched, by the mention.

Zaobao, largest Chinese newspaper in Singapore, includes my quotes
While the New York Times coverage they mention never bothered to check in with us, Zaobao did, and they included some excellent quotes from me about our vision, mission, and what differentiates our goals from other Q&A sites. Thanks for the write up, it's greatly appreciated.

Michael Gracie is a really nice guy
After a few emails, he published this gem, 'gems in the rough' lol about virtual collaboration and how we do things on FunAdvice...which is, I must say, quite refreshing. Thanks!

Yes to me - interview with Jeremy Goodrich
A very nice blogger (and resident of Oregon, where I spent most of my own childhood & teenage years) was nice enough to ask Jeremy Goodrich interview questions about entrepreneurship, building a business and get my thoughts on striking out on your own. Worth a read if you want to know more about thedude. :)

New York Times Mention
One of the largest newspapers in the US gives us a mention, and while they mention some competitor's, it's truly gratifying to get a mention in such a well established and renowned publication.

Adrants gives our creativity a nod
Adrants gives us a mention, along with some other interesting ad plays that people have done they noticed. We're flattered, truly, as we're huge fans of theirs.

WSTM NBC3 Reviews our site on TV!
TV news blurb description of FunAdvice Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see this one on air, but it's awesome to know that we got two major TV mentions of our site this year so far, aside from the more than half dozen radio mentions. :) We must be doing something right, thanks, guys!

Appscout knows we get the social bits
Appscout reviews our social components it's gratifying that they recognized that our strength is in social networking, compared to all the other Q and A sites...however, it's a bit misleading, as when you add up the question and answer volume, it's our number one user activity by a good amount. Thanks for the notice though guys!
