Milestones and Reflections
My old blog is about to hit 100,000. Woohoo! At the new blog, we’re not so far behind, at 96k and change.
This is slightly misleading, as the meter for the “old blog” is for the blog, the original Blogspot blog, and most of all, the largest source of traffic these days, the Carnival of the Capitalists page. There’s a lot of residual search traffic and archival link hits, but most of the traffic is CotC.
At any rate, it’s pretty cool to be on the verge of 200,000 overall, and far more (44,090 plus 388 before Deb moved off Blogspot) if you include the old Accidental Jedi blog in our little bloglomerate. Hey look, a new coinage of the realm! Not that this is anywhere close to folks who started out around the same time as us or later, but set a goal of traffic galore, or had a focus that got them there, intended or not.
I agree with Deb that our posts were more interesting to more people in the past. I always “blogged personal,” as she put it way back. The change in our lives has made it more so, perhaps by too much. Or too high a proportion, at any rate.
In checking the stats for the old blog, which I’d not done very often until I noticed it was approaching 100,000, I noticed I am number one with this post for ordering fast food pda. In that post, I imagined the idea of ordering at fast food places from your PDA or an in-car computer. I gather there is some movement along those lines. At any rate, wireless PDA systems being used by restaurant personnel in conjunction with POS systems. It’s cool both seeing that idea again, and seeing it as an active search hit all this time later.
