A nice profile of the site by Tuan Nguyen, including some background as to why I started it. It is titled "Victimized by Astrology and... Veganism?" (I made some adjustments to the vegetarianism category as a result of the criticisms here).
Excerpt:
"I think it's excellent," Michael Shermer, president of The Skeptics Society, says of the site. "'What's the harm?' is the question that all of us skeptics get asked whenever we do interviews on T.V. or debate people about irrational beliefs. And often, they are quite harmful."

Just a few weeks after I launched the site, Dr. Phil Plait (the Bad Astronomer) highlighted it in a blog post. Holy traffic boost, batman! It was a huge leg up for the visibility of the site. (And he followed up with more links too!). He recently released his second book, "Death from the Skies" and I recommend you give it a look.
