. With Completely self-serving post regarding Consumed readers
Posted Under: rw
Anybody in a position of power at the NYT ever look at this site? If so, I invite such persons to please take at face value the following from Edelman’s blog:
I had lunch today with Josh Spear and Aaron Dignan of Undercurrent, a digital consulting firm advising Fortune 500 companies on Generation Y. I learned that on a Sunday morning, Gen Yers are inclined to sit on their beds checking out news on a wireless basis, from the Drudge Report to Treehugger.com to Gawker to Seth Godin. The Sunday NY Times is also on their list for the Sunday magazine, for Rob Walker’s Consumed column, but also to check out Walker’s blog on NY Times.com….
That’s right! Gen Y is buying the Sunday Times specifically to read my column! Okay, maybe it’s not true — but can you prove it’s not true? (And hey Josh Spear, I now forgive you for never publishing that “wish list” thing you asked me for over the holidays.)
I’ve added a comment (not yet approved, so it’s not there as I type this) to the Edelman post clarifying that Murketing.com actually cannot be found on the Times site. Other Times Magazine contributors such as Virginia Heffernan and the Freakonomics team do blog on the Times site, but not me.
I can instead be found here, at Murketing.com. But I assume you knew that.

Please, dear God, do not start blogging on the Times website. That means partial RSS feeds, which means I go from from reading every sweet word you publsh to reading 1 out of 10 and being annoyed every time a new post hits the feed reader. Partial feeds are evil. Especially from a company that should be smart enough to monetize full feeds.
This is pretty funny — I wasn’t expecting that particular response! But as RSS enthusiast, I’m right there you with you about partial feeds.
Weird as I feel copping to what is apparently totally on-trend demographic behavior, I have to admit that I am completely in line with those findings. I’m pretty sure I’m “Gen Y” (if there was ever a worse generational name than “Gen X”, that’s it) and the magazine and Consumed are big factors in my Sunday Times lust. That said, I DO read and enjoy the chunky real news parts as well (front page, week in review).
that holiday wishlist thing was actually my bad, not josh. just so you know =)
Heather — No worries, just kidding around, but thanks for fessing up. Of course if you want more public forgiveness, you’ll have to go out and get me some free publicity. Ha!
Matt — Thanks for that, and believe me I’m pleased to have regular readers of any generation, no matter what silly nomenclature goes with it. And I enjoy those chunky news stories too.
hilarious :)
