The Clayton McDuffy Test

If you read the Huffington Post, then you are probably aware of the its "People Search" feature, which shows you how popular certain people or issues are among bloggers in a given week.

Of course I wanted (no, scratch that: Needed) to find out how popular I was in the blogosphere. So after typing in my name, I found out I rank a "5." Not having any clue what this means in practical terms, I typed in two other popular people to see how they ranked, in order to get a sense of scale.

I may be no Angelina or Justin, but at least I rank better than Clayton McDuffy. Who is Clayton McDuffy you ask? He's my alter-ego. The name I use when I don't want people to know who I really am.

Yes, I am that sad. But at least I score better than a fictional person. And at this point, I will take what I can get.
