Alejandro Tarre has a go at the desbandada from Mubarak’s ranks.
The Book
In praise of Blogging the Revolution
“Caracas Chronicles has been an indispensable source of lucidity and perspective in these turbulent times in Venezuela. Toro and Nagel have been right on target, without pretending to be ludicrously impartial; they have been able to rise above polarization, trying hard to make sense of an often implausible reality. Blogging the Revolution shows them at their best. If you are not already a fan, you will become one.”
- Francisco J. Monaldi, RFK Visiting Professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Director, Center on Energy at IESA in Caracas.Recent Comments

well let me know if there is a spike…I did my thing to lend a hand…impresion count would be nice to know
thanks! Yesterday we were up 50% on the Spanish side…though only to 300-some-odd. I think it’ll take time, perseverance, and a lot of hard-work to build those numbers. Took me years to get to 1600 a day in English…
I like your entusiasmo quico, and i think that bringing in alejandro was a good move
…All 3 of my Facebook friends completely ignored my call to visit the Spanish ersatz…
Girls in bikinis, girls in bikinis; when will you learn???
Could we fix it if we get pics of the MPs in bikini?
Thanks everyone. I think a big part of it is time. Audiences build slowly. Perseverance is the name of the game.
I’ve been trying to convince Juan to start thinking of the Spanish site as the main site, and to think of this one as secondary. That means writing in Spanish more, trying to make sure posts hit on that side first.
At the moment, it’s hard to get motivated to do that since all the readers are on this side.
But I bet if we did that for a week or two, people would start to shift.
Well if you give in to pressure to put girls in bikini, you have to include guys too, enough with the chauvinistic crap.
I’ll compromise with you, MoraimaG – how about lots of bikini pics, but only of the new education minister?
No, please Quico. For the love of all you hold dear, not her!
Moraimag has a point, equal rights and such.
You could postup with pictures of you (Quico) in a bikini, just to be fair.
Do you want to enter the ranks of shock sites/blogs?
I told a Spanish speaking friend about your new site, and he suggested it could be called “Carajo Today” as a compromise.
