Maybe not for Streetsblog, which gets mentioned in the Wall Street Journal... but my blog gets from 300 to 1000 M-F visits, and unless I continue to prime the pump with content, average readership drops from 450-500 to 350. To quote from one of the earlier books on direct marketing _Maxi-Marketing_, it's about multiple channels for selling, or in this case communicating messages. blog readership is infinitesimal compared to print publication.

TSTC always has great information, but they're correct that their newsletter couldn't do justice to the complicated and detailed world of NY transit the way a blog can. Streetsblog has a far more attractive design, however (like frequent and relevant graphics). And the focus is more clearly on actual street design/usage issues, while TSTC is a broader transportation policy shop. Looking forward to even more transportation blogging and public involvement to get NYC out of cars! Great to see another NYC transportation blog springing up.
