Hacking Alexa
Alexa, and its short comings were subject of a short piece a few days ago, over on GigaOM.com. Now Jason Calacanis is pushing a social hack that will further expose Alexa’s shortcomings. In case you are interested, check out Jason’s blog, and sign-up for it. Unfortunately, I am going to sit this one out, and instead watch from the sidelines. Tom Raftery has some doubts, and rightfully so.

Om, I think it really is a bit sad that Jason posted this. He is a web/blog leader and could probably write thousands of articles that could actually help people, instead posts something that benefits him alone.

Disappointing to say the least.
I am wondering why Jason asked everyone to participate in the experiment? He could arrange three machines himself, couldn’t he?
