A shame to hear that our mates at blogblog have called it quits for now but a delight to see that our friends from keepleftnz.org – active at the last election – are kicking off “the smartest political fun in the galaxy” on July 7: 08Wire.org

    I’m devastated because life will never be the same without it.

    Could it be that no one was reading it?

    you cheery old sod, santi.

    It was actually that the writers stopped posting, their hit counter was ticking along merrily until they stopped posting.

    I guess the premise of writing about Kiwiblog was always going to be limiting and, let’s face it, Kiwiblog is irrelevant these days. I keep on forgetting to even look at it, whereas last year it was the blogosphere.

    Hey AYB- your link to 08Wire.org goes to a directory on The Standard instead of going to an external site. 🙂

    Fixed it. Ayb forgot to put in the http://www. which made it default back to here.

    It’s popular though isn’t it Steve?

    Not that popularity really matters.

    Good ad.

    Santi, last time I looked KBB had something like 240k visits, over 9,500 comments and were ranked in the top ten by Tumeke… I’m happy with that although obviously your esteemed opinion is important too.

    Great to see keepleftnz back online alongside the Standard and the other fine left and centre-left blogs.

    There goes my theory! I thought you good folk at The Standard might be the keepleftnz team, but I guess not.

    Glad they’re going to be back on board this time!

The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
