Shilv presents: an Isthmus Ombudsman-StoryBridge.tv collabo?

We mentioned that Kay Sai and Jay Olsen's StoryBridge.tv might produce material for Isthmus/Daily Page. That was mostly correct.

What we didn't reveal? Shilv inked a similar deal that will generate vlogs exclusive to Shiv/Shill/Shine. A taste of what's to come appears below. Quirky cobranding, huh?

It's so hard to find good anonymous help these days

Just posted: Shiv/Shill/Shine's guide to fall fashion. Neither clairvoyant prose nor pseudonym is mine--but I picked up a bundle of sticks the author dropped, and edited out some low-hanging American Apparel. His nom de plume was apparently non-negotiable. And why quibble when there's such a scarcity of anonymous writers with eyes and ears to the street?

Speaking of which, now's as good a time as any to congratulate Emily Denaro on her quarter-centennial. Yep, she's 25 posts (weeks?) into her pseudonymous Daily Page column. No longer a new girl, is E$.

So it's not SXSW, but...

If you hadn't heard, Madison is totally like Austin. And while music bloggers may moan that Madison's lacking in barbecue and multimedia festivals, we often* share some fine alt-weekly film criticism, as...

*When Kent Williams is on vacation, or couldn't make it to a screening, or something. The above seem to roughly coincide with the absence (or diminished role) of his byline. Who said recycled content is just for evil chains, aggregators and dailies? [edit: see comments for non-clarification] But why not just have an intern review bootlegs of the day? Sicko was floating around google video...

Does the clinic sell ads?

While Quantcast disclaims "we have sparse data about thedailypage.com, so these are rough estimates," threads chronicling the scourge of Daily Page forums' addiction give credence to the stats. (Like, say, 1% of users--the blue fiends who visit 30+/month, as seen on these here pie charts--accounting for 76% of visits.):

We'll do a fun comparative post one of these days. Sparse data or no, the digital outpost of B-Money's Shepherd Express doesn't seem to have m/any addicts: only 21% of alleged visitors are "regulars" who frequent the site more than once a month.

Wide-brimmed hat tip re: Quantcast where due. Seems more illuminating, less dubiously sourced and extrapolated, than alexa [although we have no idea what we're talking about, technically speaking].
