Hey everyone, this is T with a brief, tired post.
For those of you who are unaware of Blogger's Statistics screen, Blogger has a metric application that allows bloggers access to statistics. Some examples of these metrics are how many views the blog has each day, which posts were most popular, and what URL's brought traffic to your blog.
The statistic that's of interest to me right now is the number of views I receive by country. The reason for this is that the map reminds me of the game Plague Inc., a game in which you are a mad scientist who's goal is to infect and kill all humans on earth. It's a morbid game to say the least, but it is still addicting and worth playing.
As I was looking at the views by country statistic, I was pleased to see that in less than 2 weeks of blogging, I already have some international interest in my blog: with some views from Poland and Venezuela. Now, I'm aware that TOR servers have the potential to effect this statistic, thus making the one Venezuelan view just an American with TOR. The Polish views, on the other hand, seem to be legitimate due to there being nearly a dozen views in one day.
The point that my tired, ADD infested brain is trying to make it that this statistic has inspired me to create a new page on the blog called "Infected", which you can see be clicking here. My hopes with the "Infected" page is similar to Pokémon: I want to see if I can a couple of views from ever country on Earth. Every time a new country is "infected" with more than 5 views, that country is added to the list. Simple really, but I hope Madagascar and Greenland are not as difficult to "infect" in real life.
Anyway, that's all for now. Until next time!
-T
