Blog Stats

Google has introduced a new statistics service so I can see how many page views I've had and what country they come from.  So if I recommend it to someone in England I can immediately obsess over whether or not they actually looked at it, by seeing if there is a new page view from England or not.  (Not).

The World Wide Web is Wonderful!.   Clearly this blog is only ever viewed by my mum and my friend Jenny, and yet, I have had over 1000 page views, from places like the USA, Russia, Brazil, Japan, The Netherlands...the thing is, only a really tiny percentage of the world surfing population has to open your blog by mistake and close it again as quickly as possible, and you have become famous and can sell advertising!
