Patch: Not As Big As Facebook, Yet—But More Important Than Google?

A recent ranking of "Most Important Online Publishers" puts your friendly neighborhood Patch behind Mr. Zuckerberg's plucky little site and ahead of some major publishing heavyweights.

We've been working hard and getting attention, but a recent ranking of "most important" online publishers put Patch No. 5 behind Facebook, The New York Times, the Huffington Post and Netflix.

That's pretty heady company, particularly when you consider the same ranking puts Patch ahead of Google, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, the AP, NPR, ABC, YouTube, The Washington Post, USA Today, National Geographic, the LA Times and US News & World Report!

The list of heavy hitters appeared recently in OMMA, the Magazine of Online Media, Marketing and Advertising.
