Shrinking world

Have you ever looked at the statistics for your blog? They're pretty cool. You can see how many times your blog has been viewed and from where. I was shocked and amazed when I looked at it and saw that my blog has been looked at by people in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany and Brazil.

My first thought was "whoa! look at that!", my second "how on Earth did they come across my blog and why", and lastly, "this is strange, I actually have people reading my blog. I guess I better do a good job."

It makes our world feel so much more connected and so much smaller. It also made me really self-conscious about what I put in my blogs. It kind of motivates me to take them a step further and put a little more effort into them.

  1. Clara,

    I'm with you: wondering what people in Solvenia, for example, are making my blogs about our class. There is some connection being made, though a slim one since the "exchange" is all in one direction. I wish those readers would comment!
