We're No. 66!
![Très excitement. Ken informs me that Shorpy is No. 66 on PC Magazine's list of the Top 100 Websites of 2009! (Yes, this is the kind of fluff incisive reportage magazines run in the summer so the staff can go on vacation, and we're happy to take part.) I want to thank tterrace, Stanton Square, Joe Manning and everyone else who has helped put us, if not on top, at least solidly in the top part of the bottom third! [UPDATE: Even though we are the 66th website on the list, Kyle at PC Mag tells us the results are not a numerical ranking but rather the results of voting on two groups: Top 50 "classic" sites and Top 50 "undiscovered."]](https://www.shorpy.com/files/images/top100.gif "We're No. 66!")

So funny!
>>>upper part of the lower third<<<
When you put it that way it doesn't sound so bad!
Way To Go Dave!!!
This is indeed a great thing for you and the readers/contributors here. A truly unique site that makes us all sit back, look and enjoy your version of the microscope to the past.
And I think I speak for all when I say a hearty 'thank you'.
Doug
Best of all...
...You guys did it without gratuitous sex, violence, vulgarity, or government subsidies. Good taste and quality every day on Shorpy!
Congrats!!
Doug
[Aside from the zillions in taxpayer dollars that made these photos available through the Library of Congress, and the occasional soggy wool bathing suit, this is all very true! - Dave]
Unprepared remarks
In addition to my mother and my agent, I'd also like to thank all the nice people who nominated Shorpy for a spot on the list. In addition to the many commenters and photo posters whose contributions have made the site so interesting. And of course we can't forget the photographers whose work is shown here, and the archivists, technicians and historians who have helped make it available. And Ken (a.k.a. User1), who put both the dot and the com in Shorpy.com. And last but not least let us direct a round of applause to Shorpy himself. Clapclapclap!
Rankings
It's a bit of a shock to see us 8 places behind Awkward Family Photos, but at least we beat out Ugliest Tattoos. Seriously, thank you, Dave! Happy to have done my part. Oh, and I also frequently put links to my contributions on my Facebook page for the benefit of my 38 Friends. That must have had something to do with it.
Always Number ONE in my book!
While this is great news, Dave, Shorpy is my favorite site to visit. A day doesn't go by where I don't check in to see what's new, or browse through older photographs. Your presence on Facebook is appreciated and hopefully is adding to Shorpy's traffic. I know that I keep promoting the site to all my friends, and will continue to do so.
Shorpy is Number ONE!
Made Our Day
We should all be proud of Dave and Ken for creating, maintaining and constantly improving the Shorpy site. Those of us that are daily visitors and contributors celebrate with you.
Great News!
You deserve it! One of my favorite sites!
Well done
I found you through James Lileks, word of blog so to speak.
Atta Boy Dave!!
Just wanted to add my congratulations to the list.
Shorpy is my home page! First thing I see when I fire up Safari. Cheers!
Kudos all around
Glad to have been along and look forward to moving onward and upward. Most Excellent! Figip for everyone!
Fluff or not,
Fluff or not, congratulations are well deserved! This site is excellent, and should have been much higher placed.
Way to go, Shorpy!
Should have been first, in my opinion.
Congratulations
Congratulations and well-deserved.
And, at 66, seems that you've just squeaked into the middle third!
Congrats!
Well deserved. This site is must reading/viewing for me!
