Welcome Seattle Times readers!

Today was a nice little breakthrough for Web 2.0 Central. It received our first ‘main stream media’ mention via a syndicated article in The Seattle Times. Reporter Aman Batheja some how figured Web 2.0 Central is based in England. While it’s published a little way from Silicon Valley, based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, at least I don’t have to cross an ocean to get to there.

As the saying goes, it doesn’t matter if they get the location of blog wrong as long as they make the link live and spell it right. Needless to say it brought some great traffic today.

Despite the geography issues, the article is very well written and provides a nice mainstream introduction to what Web 2.0 is all about.

Competing with The Seattle Times for top traffic driver today were Paid Content and Fuzzyblog, both linking to me in relation to the short interview I did with Scott Johnson formerly of Feedster and now a founder of of Ookles.

With any luck today will also mark the 500 subscriber barrier at for my RSS feed. Not bad for 3 months of blogging though I’ve got a ways to catch up with readership of Techcrunch.

If you haven’t yet subscribed, please do. That, or throw me some link-love on Del.icio.us now that it’s back up and running from their ‘Outage 2.0′.
