Who the Heck is Carl Ortutay? How’d He Become So Powerful?

by Sam on January 30, 2008


This afternoon while comparing Mint to Twitter on Alexa Compete, I ran into the strangest thing:

Who the Heck is Carl Ortutay? Howd He Become So Powerful?

According to Compete the top keyword driving traffic to Mint.com is – as might be expected – “Mintâ€� and “Mint.com.â€�

However, the second most popular keyword driving traffic to Twitter is strangely the name “Carl Ortutay.â€� Strange because Carl is not the founder of Twitter. Carl doesn’t work at Twitter. In fact, Carl isn’t even a power user. The guy has 15 followers. He doesn’t even have a blog or website.

Who the Heck is Carl Ortutay? Howd He Become So Powerful?

So who is this insanely powerful Internet rock star? Well, if his Tweets are any indication, he’s just a high schooler with poor grammar.

I think Compete may want to examine the metrics used to evaluate where traffic comes from :)
