Like me, you’ve probably recently asked yourself, “If FirstThings.com were a country, how populated would it be?”
Fortunately, the good people at Sharenator have a tool that shows the size of media empires. According to them, if Firstthings.com were a country, it would be larger than Samoa. (They also said we’re bigger than Netherlands Antilles, but I’m not sure that’s a real country. Sounds made up.)
And if all the online ROFTERs were to meet up at one time, we’d need three venues the size of Texas Stadium to hold you all.
Until I saw that graphic, I was going to invite you all over to my house for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I don’t have quite that much parking space available.
