Well … we’ve certainly got people talking. Media Predict has provoked some strong reactions in the past few days.

As many of you know, we launched with a fine piece of coverage from The New York Times (which also got picked up in the International Herald Tribune). Mega-blog Mashable weighed in last night.

But the knives were out elsewhere. First the New York publishing blog GalleyCat speculated we were inspired by a “high-quality crack pipe.” Then Gawker weighed in with its own attack. (As someone told us, “Negative coverage from Gawker is positive coverage overall.” We’ll take it.)

So apparently some elements of the publishing world feel threatened by the idea of you – the reader – actually being involved in their decisions. Obviously we don’t agree. For book-lovers still trying to make up their minds, check out our e-mail interview appearing in Crimespace (and reproduced in In For Questioning and Sandra Ruttan’s blog).

In music, StereoGum gave us a great review. And we were very pleased to appear in a blog we love, PaidContent.org.

Love us or hate us, we’re here …
