Blogcritics on NBC-TV

I couldn't be much happier about the support we have received from our readers, writers, and supporters in the blog and mainstream press communities. If you had told me where we would be in a year when we launched last August I wouldn't have believed it. Our scopes of interest, areas of expertise, personalities, political viewpoints, geographical reach, and modes of expression, while dizzying in their varieties, are our greatest strengths.

We are always on the lookout for new writers with their own blogs (or blog-like sites) and an interest in popular culture to join our ever-expanding "sinister cabal." If you are interested or have any questions about the site, please feel free to email me.

Thanks again to all and we are very excited about year number two!!

Best Wishes, Eric Olsen

    I'll celebrate by contributing my first post, with another frighteningly, absurdly long one to come.
    Almost as scary is hitting 'publish' and 'save' here for the first time -- and that from an agency journalist who's been doing far worse with quite serious stuff for decades.
    Which means, I guess, that I'm delighted to be aboard.
    Thanks for the warm welcome, Eric.
    Keep on criticising!

    I want to thank Eric for giving me another outlet in which to spread myself too damn thin! I appreciate it a lot, but my laundry does not.

    Seriously though, thanks.

    I just want to give congradulations to myself, without I couldn't have done this. Thanks to the academy and the people over at Plain Brown Wrapper who gave me so much strokage, I can't elucidate.

    Shout outs to Eric, Phil and all the froovy guckers.

    Eric, dude, the anniversary is definitely today, the 12th. The stuff you did on Tres Producers doesn't count! The first Blogcritics post is clearly from August 12th, 2002. Note the lack of a link to a previous article! See also the official announcement from that same day, as well as my inaugural post, proving that I'm an old-timer.

    Not that I'm trying to be pedantic or anything. :)

    Eric,

    I'd just like to thank you for letting me join when I didn't even have a blog yet.
