Hey Billy Fap.
How are you doing this morning?
Here are some fun parts from an article about the LetsRun.com website.
Frankly, 42-year-old identical twins Robert and Weldon Johnson can’t write that well. This is notable, since the pair, who go by RoJo and WeJo, write, edit, and oversee LetsRun, which covers the colorful characters and serpentine subplots of competitive running for a MILLION UNIQUE VISITORS EVERY MONTH. The Johnsons are—and often won’t dispute being—disorganized, mumble-mouthed, and a tad prideful. But 15 years ago, the BroJos, as they are known, created the most obsessed-over site in competitive running, one that has advanced reporting on some of the biggest—and smallest—Âscandals in the sport over the past decade.
“But their best quality is that they don’t give a ... about offending people. They just fire away at perceived injustice or wrongdoing, and they have a pretty good sense of the aggrieved little guy.â€
“RoJo is the worst speller,†says Steve ÂSoprano, from a couch in the cottage.
“I edit twenty typos in RoJo’s pieces,†Âadded Jon Gault
Equanimity is also important to WeJo. “I don’t want us to be hot-headed, self-righteous pricks like some Deadspin guys,†he said.
WeJo earned an Âeconomics degree at Yale and spends more time managing the site than writing. His Ârationality tempers the often whimsical RoJo, who claims to suffer from “ideaÂphoria.†(“I’d be a billionaire if someone implemented all my ideas,†RoJo told me. One of them: a “how to be an adult†website.)
“If the BroJos were one person, they’d be president,†said Coach, who was tagging along to help write race recaps. “But they’re not. It’s like two ten-year-olds ran away from home.â€
LetsRun generally uses ad networks to make money and has had only one down year. “We’ve built the most influential running audience,†WeJo says. “We’ve got the fastest in every community and the coaches. If we keep bringing in a million upper-Âincome, educated people monthly, we’ll figure out how to best monetize that traffic.â€
LetsRun is a private company, and the BroJos declined to share specific financial data. Profit, though, has never been the point. “There are those who want what’s best for the sport,†says Willis, “and there are those who want what’s best for themselves. Robert and Weldon care more about the sport than the success of their site.â€
Chasing cheaters has won LetsRun fans.
Because the site is home to both a large and active posting community and original reporting by its founders—and because the line between the two is often blurry—LetsRun as a whole can sometimes shade from journalism into witch-hunting.
“There is a distinction between the community and the editorial side,†WeJo insists. “‘LetsRun’ can refer to both, but we try and give proper credit on who is doing what. As to whether that distinction matters, I’m not sure. I’m glad cheaters get exposed.â€
Of course, the subjects of the exposés usually aren’t thrilled.

If you take 1 million unique visitors per month and divide by 30 days per month…the answer is:
33,333.333…∞…∞…∞…^∞…^∞…^∞…unique visitors per day.
It is just a coincidental synchronicity.
