Of course, we should also have an element for MetaChat...

In fact, back in the day Nikolai followed up his "web.elements" with "blog.elements" (and I was at #91 with an early version of my blog at the domain I lost in '02)

It's very odd to see some of the other sites that are included, with MeFi excluded. So ... I guess I'm the only person for whom MeFi and MeCha are the sun, the moon and the stars of the web? Maybe I have a problem.

I've been around this series of tubes a long time, and there're a few "elements" on that chart that I've never heard of. But I think the outliers are this guy's personal faves -- they're central to his particular tube, so of course they're in the table. He's probably never been to MeFi.

Heh, thanks for that, wendell. I forgot that I was Hg! And I (or at least Nikolai) was still using the WWA address that went obsolete when they were merged out of existence.

But MeFi has never even been a top 1000 website. I don't know quite why that is (I mean, I know why places like boing boing are...). On the other hand it isn't something we've sought and there was that long period when we capped membership because it really was a problem to have too many new people at once (culturally as well as technically).
