Who reads this blog?

I thought it might be interesting to post an overview of who in the world reads my blog, as well as a snapshot of how many of you are reading. The question I have is why don't more of you participate in the discussions? And where, exactly, are you all from? What towns? Are you at home? At work? At school? And more importantly, what kind of bike do you ride?!

How Many and Where you are

Loyal patrons vs. newbies

Love the geomap overlay. Which stats app do you use to generate those type of statistics?

Oh, and like you didn't know... this is Tony, from Chico, and I ride a white Specialized Allez comp with blue and orange accents.

Heh, sup Tony?!

Right now I'm using Google Analytics - pretty good stuff, although probably overkill for a blog.

I've also tried Measuremap (www.measuremap.com) and I've seen Mint (www.haveamint.com) - both are pretty cool apps.

Uh....I'm at school which is where I work in Oroville but I can't wait to get home to Chico where I ride my 2005 Trek Madone 5.2 with the pearl white, blue, & red color scheme.

And I usually use graph paper or Excel to make nonsensical graphs that no one else understands......

Could it also be called the Red, White, and Blue color scheme?

Jeff O. said...

Well, it's mainly white and blue with red stickers so I believe I'll stick with my interpretation.

Cool, I just got the invite for Google Analytics, probably should run over and get signed up. Looks to give some quality info I'm not getting from AWstats.

I'll peep at those other apps you mention as well. Thanks.

Yo, Gino. I'm part of that little yellow dot on Alaska. I check your blog every week or so from my office (and sometimes from home) in Anchorage.

I commute on a slick-equipped '96 Stumpjumper hardtail, and ride trails on an '04 Specialized Epic.
