World Hum in the Wall Street Journal
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 06.26.06 | 11:56 AM ET
Today’s Wall Street Journal kindly named World Hum one of the top travel weblogs around, generously noting: “Superb writing and stylish layout make visiting the site like cracking open a high-quality travel magazine.” Other sites making the list include NewYorkology, Lonely Planet’s Journeys blog and BootsnAll. Unfortunately, the story is available only to subscribers. However, another story in today’s Journal, available to everyone, notes that niche Web publications, when done well (say, with superb writing and a stylish layout, we’re thinking), can make great investments. Not that we’re suggesting any investors take an interest in World Hum or anything. That would be crazy.

Congrats on the write-up. If I had a couple extra billion, say like Warren Buffett, you’d be able to consider WorldHum backed Big Time, but I don’t, so you can’t. Sorry.
Keep up the good work.

Jim,
I’ve just discovered World Hum. Very nice. I plan to make it one of my regular stops.
What publishing system do you use for World Hum? It is indeed very clean and pleasant to read.
