8 Years of blogging
The first article on this blog is published on 22th of August 2008. It’s about a website which I saw at FWA. Eight years later I’m still publishing stuff here and because it is the beginning of a new year I decided to give you some statistics.
So far there are 1,308,099 unique users visited this blog. And most of those visits are in the last 3/4 years mainly because I’m writing “actively”.
20% of the requests came from USA. India is on the second place:

Most people came from google, second Reddit and Twitter.
