The Drudge Report is the homepage for many news junkies — myself included. That's likely because Matt Drudge has never really jumped on the Web 2.0 bandwagon — no comments, no voting on stories, no submitting stories (except through the anonymous tips box) for peer review, no videos, no lolcats. The site has pretty much been the same since it launched in the late '90s — until today!

TAKE DRUDGE WITH YOU, ANYWHERE... OPENING OF IDRUDGEREPORT.COM FOR MOBILE DEVICES... FURIOUS AND FAST, HEADLINES ONLY... IDRUDGEREPORT.COM...

I opened the site on my iPhone and got a list of the same headlines that are currently on drudgereport.com, but without ads or the lengthy list of links to news sources and columnists. Clicking a link informs you that the link you clicked may not be formatted for a mobile device and offers to email you the link so you can read it when you get back to your computer. Nifty.

In addition to that, the Drudge main page was viewed 455,157,569 times in November — the busiest month in the site's 12-year history. It's important to note, however, that that number is pageviews, not unique readers, and the site has an autorefresh set to 3 minutes. If you leave the page open on your computer, as many readers do, you'll account for 20 views an hour. Even discounting that effect, the site is astoundingly popular for a two-man operation.
