Occasionally, it's all about us
According to the Gallup guys and gals, one in five Web users reads blogs, either frequently or occasionally. They report, "Though this translates into 40 million readers, it relegates blogs to the bottom pack of Internet activities, among the 13 for which Gallup recently measured Americans' use. Like most Web activities," they say, "blog readership hasn't increased over the past year or so, even though Americans are spending more time online."
Perhaps BoardBuzz is bucking this trend. On this Valentine's Day, we're feeling the love from our readers. Since its humble beginnings two years ago, BoardBuzz now averages 11,000 unique visitors a month. That's better than a bouquet of roses. And here's one reader's take on our daily toils:
Yes, school boards are often called on to make tough calls. I just wanted to comment on the quality of this blog. You are blogging about some tough issues and not afraid to take a stand. You cover a wide range of issues and many cause me to pause and think. Plus, your blog has the comments feature open which many other organizations neglect. I like that. Keep up the good blogging!
Now I make note of this because I've had my ups and downs with school boards over my 20+ year career. Some board members I've respected and appreciated, others shall I say, we've had a prickly past. This is yet one more thing I've grown to love about blogging. BoardBuzz has given me a whole new perspective on school boards and what they are doing. I really like the wide range of topics that are covered and the personal touch from the excellent writers adds so much. They are professional and yes, even prickly at times. Prickly in a very good way, I might add.
