  • Voice Memos #1: Reframing our thinking about follows, views, likes, etc.

    In this voice memo I chat a little bit about how I’ve tried to think about my follow count, my blog’s statistics, likes, and other metrics. As the internet begins to divide into smaller groups once again, this perspective may become more important than ever. Voice Memos #1 is 7m54s. You need to be logged…

  • My 2021 blogging stats

    Number of posts per month: Total: 420 See 2020. I posted more to my blog in 2021 than 2020. As I said in my review post, I need to sit down and give a hard think to what my goals for 2022 will be, but I do hope they include sharing more here on my…

  • Dave Rupert on blog post hits

    Dave Rupert: Two posts that I thought would be bangers got nearly zero reach. The inverse law of blogging strikes again! The Surprise Chain is a post I quite literally worked on for over six years, but it got under a thousand hits. CSS Modules-in-CSS Module Scripts did a little better but I’m not cashing any blogging…

  • My 2020 blogging stats

    Yes, I’m writing this post in July of 2021. I don’t know what to tell you. Number of posts per month: Total number of posts: 353 A rather large portion were titleless status updates. I started off with a bang on January 1 by announcing my full return to the Mac. And here I am,…

  • Jack Baty on follower counts

    Jack Baty: Years ago on Twitter, I would use follower counts as an indicator of authority or perhaps as a way to gauge someone’s impact on a community or topic. With so many followers, he or she must have useful or interesting things to say, right? That probably wasn’t a great way to think about…

  • Python is blowing up

    David Robinson, not The Admiral, for Stack Overflow: We recently explored how wealthy countries (those defined as high-income by the World Bank) tend to visit a different set of technologies than the rest of the world. Among the largest differences we saw was in the programming language Python. When we focus on high-income countries, the…

  • Colin Walker on evergreen content

    Colin Walker: Evergreen content. It’s what many bloggers crave. Posts that keep people coming back. Passive traffic that you don’t have to do anything more to receive. Back-in-the-day we called this the longtail. Publish enough posts on a given niche and generate tons of traffic over the longterm due to people searching for those topics…

  • Live streaming video, by the numbers

    Dan Kimbrough: Facebook makes sense as the leader. More people use Facebook than YouTube. And by that, I mean we consume a lot on YouTube, most of its traffic is viewing videos, not creating. I think that most companies and influencers have a big enough audience that they can stream anywhere and their followers will…follow.…

  • Stop tracking referral spam with Google Analytics

    Nice tip from Scott Buscemi on the Luminary Web Strategies blog: Have you ever logged into Google Analytics and noticed a huge, unexpected spike in traffic to your site? Maybe your last blog post was shared by a huge influencer on Twitter — or maybe you’re the victim of referral spam. One simple click. Be…

  • Stop caring about follower counts

    Matt Gemmell on what has changed for him in 2014 — mainly, that he no longer worries about things like stats, follower counts, and numbers. He now writes for him. But he used to. I’d second-guess tweets and even articles, based on what I thought would appeal to my readers – who were mostly programmers.…
