I’ve been thinking about my reach online lately. In general, its constantly growing, but I wanted to blog about it for other people, but also to look back on in a few years.
A few quick facts about my current reach:
- This blog sees around 5000 pageviews/month, with around 3,400 visits. It has approximately 70 people viewing it daily via their RSS readers (Feedburner).
- I have just short of 1,900 followers on Twitter. I’ve made around 7,200 updates and 1,200 DMs. There’s much bigger people on Twitter, but I don’t follow back too much anymore and I’m not really trying to grow much.
- I have about 120 people on Flickr that call me a “contact” or friend. On Flickr I’ve had around 100,000 views of my photos at the current rate of around 200/day on average
- My YouTube channel gets around 80 views/day on average. I’ve had around 40,000-50,000 views on my videos (I deleted some that I didn’t like, so a few numbers are screwy)
- I’ve had my Slashdot account for around 8 years now. It’s sad that I lurked for so long or I could have easily had a 4 or 5 digit UID. I can’t find where it has the total number of comments, but I think I’ve made over 700.
- On GearSlutz, which is my Forum of Choice when it comes to music things, I think I’ve been registered since 2004 and have made around 4,000 posts. People on there seem to know me pretty well now.
- And on my Tumblr, I have a grand 7 people following me
This isn’t bragging. People have much bigger footprints nonstop, but I’d never taken the time to really put them all in one place. I’m sure this will be fun to look back on in 5 or 10 years and grin at. I occasionally find something that I posted 10 or 15 years ago online and it’s always too funny. Even looking back in my Slashdot journal its cute to see what I said 7 years ago.
