I have to admit...

I have to admit that one of the reasons for this morning's first post was to include the SiteMeter button. What this does is, like most counting things, tracks views of the entry. Why? Curiosity, mostly. I am a data whore. And also because it looks at where you're reading from, and then generates a list of servers and a world map.

Now, I really don't care how many people read me. I have a pretty good idea of that already. They're mostly on my flist. That's all good. But I have enjoyed looking at where people are reading from. This morning's post got hits from Poland and somewhere the former USSR, Italy, France and so on and so forth. That's kind of neat.

But it's not what really tripped me about the dataset. What I really want to know is who out there is reading me from these servers, all of which appeared in my listings:

- house.gov
- customs.gov
- osd.mil
- prisonstripsearch.com

Anyway, it's kind of a neat toy.

I think I ended up with one person not liking it, in addition to the one who said it made her uncomfortable. So I might put it back and then if they want to leave I guess that will be okay too:) I love looking at the parts of the country and world that come visit.. it's so cool
