Blog

To-morrow we will have 500 000 views and visits of this blog since 2005/10/20/.

I do not know enough about Site Meter. Here you see anyhow one year's readings.

Sure, I follow Google Analytics. Occasionally I have a look at Blogilista.

It looks like I have 1 000 - 2 000 people each day having a look, what is up.

The number of comments seems to be high.

This kind of self-advertisment is bad form, I have been told. But I mostly do not abide, because the better the advice the less reason to follow it.

Not knowing, how to celebrate this more or less trusworthy reading, except by having a double espresso (they do not have those triples called "depth charges" in Berkeley, Ca.), I just quote a quotation from Dr. Jokisipilä's blog, because I like it.

Somebody called Mitch Joel seems to have written:

You can get away with mis-spelled words, non-precise grammar and it's supposed to have more of a stream-of-consciousness flow to it. A Blog is the glory of a personal voice - warts and all. That is why people are gravitating toward them. Deep down, we want companies to speak our language. We're tired of jargon. We're zoning out when we hear phrases like "best of breed" or "end to end solution." We want to know that business cares about us and treasures our loyalty. We want more... and we're starting with a conversation that has a human voice behind it.

That is about it. Except I am not really interested in companies. And there are no warts in peoples' voices.


Noista neuvoista ja ohjeista suomentaja J.A. Hollo lausahti aikoinaan aformismin:

Kun apu on suurin, on hätäkin lähellä.

Taisi hän sanoa - ehkä blogeja ja niiden lukijoita ajatellen- että yhtä köyttä vetävät usein ne, jotka täytyisi ripustaa kaulasta siihen köyteen.
