Mediaite Year One: By The Numbers

On the occasion of Mediaite’s year anniversary earlier this week, some of our staff members and contributors look back on the year that was.

So. Mediaite is a year old.

Or, rather, a year and six days old. Or 1.02 years. It’s been around for 5.35% of the Internet’s history.

As the site’s self-appointed data geek, I thought that this first birthday deserved a special data-oriented tribute.

Mediaite’s age, in other units

Celebrity children Mediaite is older than

Per People‘s creepily comprehensive calendar of celebrity kids. There are 71 of them listed, but many, many more on the website – mostly for “celebrities” I’ve never heard of.

(Personal to M. G.: only three months and twenty days until L.’s birthday! Maybe get her some foreign objects?)
