Alexa Bot
Hi Osama! Long time, no chat!
I'm curious as to what you might think about generally replacing alexa statistics throughout English Misplaced Pages with quantcast numbers. In the industry, Quantcast numbers are considered to be much more accurate, and Alexa numbers to be highly questionable. At the very least, I wonder what the possibility might be of updating these numbers in infoboxes to include both, rather than Alexa alone.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 11:35, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
