Tell us what you really think, John

John Gruber, of Daring Fireball, has posted the above on his Linked List (there are no permalinks, so I included the shot above). You have probably heard that AOL has purchased Weblogs, Inc, which includes TUAW. If you would like more information about that feel free to check Jason Calacanis' blog (he's our head honcho). Gruber links to this analysis of each WIN blog's theoretical worth as weighed by inbound links. This formula values TUAW at a little over 1 million bucks, though inbound links don't really add to our worth (readers are what is important).

Apparently John doesn't think we're worth that much, though I still think his blog is worth the $29 I spent on a membership. I think we're priceless (though I also think that cats singing Christmas carols are funny so take that for what you will). This got me thinking, since someone can come up with a fairly arbitrary way of measuring a blog's worth why not ask the people who read it how much it is worth to them?

So, dear readers, if you had to put a dollar amount on TUAW what would it be? Let the flames commence!
