I guess I am just curious to hear how people came across this site. I think the readers and myself will find it fascinating to hear you stumbled across frum satire, whether it be through a weird term you put into a search engine, or through a blog, Facebook or Craigslist.
One of my longtime loyal fans asked me several months back if I could do a demographic study on who reads my blog- but most people wont comment so I will start with this question.
For instance someone told me once that they found my blog through searching for “blackberry siddur tanya” which was pretty cool.
How did you find this blog?

From a link in “Insanity Now Serenity Later” blog
Through frumlibrarian’s blog
Must have been from somebody else’s blog. Can’t remember who.
I also found it througha link in another blog. Think it might have been Dov Bear.
I think I followed one of your rare comments on other blogs
I believe I was tooling around on facebook and saw the words “tefillin date”. I thought to myself “what the h is that business?” so I googled it and ended up here.
I have no idea…didn’t you find my blog first?
I found the YouTube videos first, in the Related Videos section. I don’t remember what I was looking up.
Dont remember, but I remember that it had to do with reading you best post ever that disects and bisects every type of orthodox Judiasm.
Hiemish where have you been- by the way I recently rewrote that post and will be putting it up some time next week- it is mildly offensive of course- but I took it from a different angle this time.
I met you over shabbos lunch in Baltimore a two years ago.
been her all along, just refrained from commenting. Nothing to do with my differences with s(b.). There has been a new addition, Phil, who has really tempted me to jump back in it.
i’m not sure but i think i found you on youtube first…i must have done a search for something jewy
You posted a comment on my old blog mentioning this blog and your youtube rants.
Through the cool jew.com website.
I think while I was doing a google search for something Jewish. I came across this page- http://www.frumsatire.net/2008/03/08/monsey-observations-my-first-week/ – and thought it was hilarious!
That was back in March and I’ve been reading ever since.
I found it while surfing for “Jewish metal”. Not sure if your site was in the search results, or if I clicked through from another blog though. I believe it might have been related to ex yeshiva bochur David Draiman from “Disturbed”.

G-d came to me in a vision and told me to seek out He who Satires the Frum.
Thus, here I be.
A friend of facebook was a member of the Frum Satire Facebook Club, I checked it out, been a fan ever since.

I googled, “I hate yeshiva world news,” and so here I am
By Googling “Jewish, convert, Modern Orthodox, aliyah, blog” – which got me Benji at whatwarzone.com, which got me to you. Sometime during this process, I realized what I was looking for didn’t exist, so I started my own. And *then* I realized exactly why what I was looking for doesn’t exist.
Hesh its been so long I dont remember! I assume it was on a blogroll but cant remember whose
But bc of ur blogroll i did look at so many other blogs and one led me to a blog where i became friends with the blogger and REALLY close with a commenter and his GF- they are like my closest friends now and all cuz of u!!!
my husband wanted to buy a “non-traditional” black hat and he came home with a homburg. i told him he has to return the hat or i will burn it. seriously. i googled different hat types to show him pictures and i stumbled on your guide to jewish hats.
I’ll stay de-lurked to add:
I put “Davening” into YouTube and found your video: “Do you speak Davanese” and then followed you home.
Your blog is a great porthole to a Jewish world very different from my own tiny little Jewish world. Good luck in your travels and relocation and please don’t stop blogging!
I googled Lubavitch bochur blog, and I suppose you showed up somehow.
Gevalt?! I don’t remember!!
For sure it was before the jblogger conference. It must have been on another blog or hh.
Ahh, but then we f2fed.
Someone fwded me an email with the post heimishe mentioned above (an analysis of the different types of jews.) However, the bottom of the post was missing and I just HAD to read the rest of it. I must have googled something, and even though for the life of me I cannot remember what, it brought me here.
Google Reader suggested on the basis of the Jewish stuff I was following. I have given up looking for more stuff to read since I already spend too much time with this blogging stuff.
Someone sent me a link to one of your posts. After reading your pithy and spot-on insights I became a steady reader.
I found this site about two days ago lookin for things i shouldnt be…but hey were human- anyway, I am frikin addicted the frummy fashion show is my all time fave!

I believe it was from a link on Chavi’s site.

Cannot remember if it was a ‘whisper campaign’ that started with hipster Jews I was staying with in Berkeley CA, or if I heard about it from some scruffy beard drum-jam guy that kinda smelled at Hillel UConn. This darn website was brought up at one of those places – I am sure of it.
It was the davenese Youtube post. Which ultimately got me started blogging, that and me needing a hobby.
I think it was some chumra post I came across in Google. Anywho, cool blog, Hesh. It reminds me how many frum people actually do not walk around with sticks up their butts. (Although, you can’t always tell by their sourpuss faces…)
one of my friends was joking abut how we like to video our everyday lives. She then mentioed that she had actually seen a YouTube vid of a guy on a shidduch date infiltrating a Shidduch-lobby in New York. Needless to say, we were intruiged… the rest is blog history.
on a different blog there was your blog posted as one of his favorits. so here i am.
A member of our g-bang shouted “frumsatire.net” while in the throes of passion.
I think you found me on Youtube or something…
Pretty sure it was the seltzer post. I recall googling for “soda siphon” and finding this site. I must say its been an important part of my Jewish education on the path to conversion. Now you got that hangin over your head too Hesh.
tzip, a homberg is a very cool hat, not a thing to be mocked or burned. After months of searching I recently scored the perfect black “pork pie” hat and my wife adores how it looks on me. Must however qualify that I have no intention of becoming a “black hat”. This one looks more “rat pack” than anything else.
Side note: “black hat” to me always meant the “evil” type of hackers, but thats because I work in computer security. Now I get cognitive dissonance when I hear the term. “Do they mean Hassidim or Hacker?” Someday a frum kid from Brooklyn will write the next monster virus and I’ll go into a recursive loop of black hat black hat.
I googled frum blog and found this one =)
I googled TIUNY
I met you in a big Lubavitch Sukkah in Toronto a couple of weeks ago.
i googled “worldly and frum”
Hey, I googled TIUNY!! (Great idea for a post Hesh
lol!)
Now that you are in Dallas you wont make it to my wedding!
I was googling for blogspot jewish conversion orthodox
Does anyone want to join my Yahoo group?

You emailed me a month ago requesting a link exchange. I just replied to your email (a month later). You didnt specify which blog.
Someone forwarded me one of your early shidduch posts, and I remember finding the idea of a “612′er” hilarious.
I found one of your videos on youtube and kept watching more. In one of them you mentined that you blogged and I ‘googled’ frum satire and found it.
