I started this blog last summer, but didn't install a hit counter until January. It measures hits from individual computers and may overestimate the number of readers as some of you read this from your work and home computers. I'm not sure how or if it counts mobile devices. If you're reading this from an iPhone or Droid, put the phone down and drive.
Anyway, now that we've crossed 1,000 individual computers, let's take a look at you. I should mention that it's a free hit counter, so the stat reports are limited - I don't know who you are.
Where you at?
Most of you are in the United States. You're probably looking for traffic reports or directions from Bethesda, MD to Hershey, PA and are wondering what I-270 has to do with colon cancer. The highway and the colon are both routes with noxious, gaseous emissions. Sometimes traffic moves quickly and sometimes not at all. Fortunately, with the colon you get only one @$$h0le.
We have some repeat visitors from Spain (los amigos madrileños), Canada (cousins?), and the UK (other cousins?).
Among the one-time hits is someone from Denmark. I don't know anyone in Denmark, or the rest of Scandinavia (including Finland and Iceland), but I do know Scandahoovian folks from Minnesota.
Other one-time hits have been from Australia and Slovakia, who may be former colleagues (G'day and dobre rano, respectively), and Poland. I don't think I know anyone in Poland.
Your Gear
Most of you use PCs, probably because that's what you have at work (lots of XP users). To those you you who have Macs supported by your IT department - luck-yyyyy.
Most of you use Internet Explorer. Please run a virus scan immediately, then download Firefox. For those using IE6, I have your credit card and social security numbers.
Anyway, all of you are welcome to post comments by clicking on "comments" at the bottom of each entry.. You may post as anonymous and make up a name. Also, feel free to e-mail me. If something is funny enough to be shared, I'll post it without your name.

I've been trying to get a hit on my blog from Antarctica. Continent Bingo will then be complete for me...

Cool. I'm sure there would have also been hits from China, but Google and the Chinese government are exchanging barbs.
ReplyDeleteI thought Holland was Scandanavia? Or is it Dutch? Not sure. But do you have friends in The Netherlands? The Nether World?
