One Year Blogging
Well – today marks my first year of blogging. It has been a pretty good year and I have unexpectedly met some great new people through the blog, along with rediscovering some old friends. The main point of the blog was to take myself out of the anonymity of the web. I had been posting for years under different aliases, always keeping my internet life separate from out there in RL (real life). The year of it coming together has made for some interesting situations – especially in my family and work life.
So – to commemorate this event, I thought it would be fun to check out my competition on certain topics online using Nielson’s BlogPulse tool… and here is what I came up with:
So – basically this tool measures what blog topics are popular online. I put "sex" as a baseline, assuming that was something that lots of people were talking about (I am very curious to see what was happening on that large dip between Nov 17-Nov 23, my guess is that something happened where people were not as interesting as sex, or maybe people were so busy having sex that they couldn’t write about it 
).
Anyway, two topics that I frequent on this blog are both Marketing and Feminism. I see that Marketing follows a Monday-Friday type of pattern, similar to a typical B2B site and Feminism has a paltry 0.01% share of internet traffic, or less than 1% of the share of "sex". Very interesting and it may explain some things (likely the mindshare the feminism holds compared to the mindshare of sex? But, using the internet as a model for the brain may be dubious).
Looking forward to another year of blogging, sharing more ideas and meeting more interesting people.
