Who Reads This Blog?

Some bloggers are notorious for their oversized sense of importance and chest thumping.  They are constantly on the search for links to them and recognition for their self-perceived wisdom.   Since this annoys me to no end, I largely avoid self-reverential chatter here (not to mention pictures of me taking pictures of myself blogging).

So, hopefully, you'll forgive this slight detour and find interest in who reads this blog that is now ranked just south of 35,000 out of gazillion by Technorati.  While the vast majority of traffic comes from big ISPs and is therefore relatively untrackable, Google Analytics tells me that the following sampling of organizations put up with the nonsense here in the last couple weeks on repeat visits:

-US Senate
-US House of Representatives
-US Department of Justice
-Department of Veterans Affairs
-Cisco
-Lehman Brothers
-Microsoft
-Google
-Apple
-Intel
-Adobe
-Yahoo!
-eBay
-Disney
-Amazon
-HP
-Fenwick & West
-Wells Fargo
-National Public Radio
-Washington Post
-Tribune Company
-Text 100
-Edelman PR
-Information Technology Industry Council
-Stanford University
-University of Virginia
-University of Southern California
-Syracuse University
-University of Washington
-Princeton University
-University of Michigan
-Ohio State
-Harvard
-University of Minnesota

The top ten country locations of readers in the last month are:
1) US
2) Canada
3) UK
4) China
5) Turkey
6) Germany
7) Australia
8) Ireland
9) India
10) Netherlands

Not surprisingly, most regular US readers are based in:
1) The Bay Area
2) DC/Virginia
3) NY City
4) LA

On the honorable occasion of our 463rd post at the 463, we thank you.
