I think it's safe to say that the lack of developments on Bitcoinwisdom reflect the interest in that site. It may end up following Clarkmoody (for those who still remember it) and eventually take everything down.
It is quite ironic how we almost tested BTC-E's stuck ticker price of $2546 while Litecoin went well under BTC-E's stuck ticker price of $41.27.
Yup. Bitstamp for me, but I don't even really care so much except I need a standard for *some* clients to refer to reliably, but in general everyone just accepts that we'll be off several dollars or so, and sometimes I win, sometimes they do. I even trade quite a bit p2p (all selling though) and if I need a quickie I just "btc to usd" on Google, same as any currency I'd check. I suppose once BTC goes back to 5-digit USD valuations, all these slight variations will matter a bit more than usual.
