One Year Old

This blog is one year old today. After a brilliantly original first post, followed by a now-falsified prediction, I finally got around to something substantive by the end of my first week. My month-ending statistics for May 2002 say I was rewarded with 26 unique visitors, some of whom were me using different computers. This month I’m on track to get about 22,000 visitors—certainly nowhere near the traffic of the big fish (how’s that for a mixed metaphor?), but pretty respectable as things go. I still think it’s odd that more people read what’s here every week than have ever read any of my published papers. Just as long as the senior faculty don’t find out, I suppose. At any rate, after a year’s worth of posting, I now control the recently-married, expat-Irish social scientist niche in the blogosphere. Except for Henry Farrell of course. Damn.

Happy blogday – and while you mightn’t be the only recently married Irish ex-pat social scientist, you certainly established the market for same!

Congratulations, Kieran. I hope Mac-a-ro-nies does so well. One of the things I’ve discovered in my two months as a blogger is that the bodies of abandoned blogs litter the landscape. Staying the course is the minority position. Those who do it and have good blogs deserve praise.

Congratulations, Kieran! I hadn’t realized your blog had been around so long—I’m going to have to dig through your archives now.

Here’s to your continued domination and iron-fisted rule of the recently-married, expat-Irish social scientist niche in the blogosphere.

Cheers.

Congrats on the blogoversary

And I have had similar thoughts vis-a-vis readership of blogs verses that of scholarly publications.
