Looking back at 2007

02 Jan

Towards the end of 2005 I posted a look back on the year. Last year I missed doing that. Thinking about 2007 I can say without looking at any stats that I had blogged very less. In July I had posted a about my four years of blogging. I had posted only 30 times till then. It has not been much better since. The total posts in 2007 is only 72, very less compared to 169 in 2006 and 407 in 2005.

Anyway looking at the posts this year. I got my US drivers licence this year. Went on my first road trip in US. I bought my first car which I really like. I got a Mac. I have not converted to Mac. I use both the Mac Mini and my Tablet PC. I like them both. I did get a new Lenovo X61 Tablet too. I got a new smart phone Cingular 8525. I swap between this and my Nokia E61.

I got to follow on of the best Formula 1 seasons in recent history with Kimi of Ferrari winning in a very thrilling finale.

Well I got more gadgets this year, there are some I have not blogged about…

There are a few more I do not remember! Too many?

Here are some graphs and stats about this blog:

Here is posts per month in 2007 compared with the previous years: (The tiny blue bars are for 2007 :-( )

Traffic wise it has not been as bad as the number of posts. There is an increase in traffic from 2006. Most of the traffic is still from Google.

Feedburner tells me that I have 432 subscribers to my main feed and another 61 from my eclipse feed. Google Reader seems to be the most popular feed reader followed by Bloglines.

In terms of browsers, IE still is the leading browser but with only 47.4% share. Firefox is second with 27.3%. Then there is ”unknown browser” 23.3% share. This consists of all the feed reader bots!

Anyway in 2005 I earned USD 140 from Google AdSense. I wanted this to increase to USD 150 to cover my hosting costs. It increased to USD 414 in 2006 and USD 520 in 2007. Not bad. Now it does cover my hosting charges plus my exchange hosted email too. Cool.

Looking ahead to 2008, I hope I post more regularly and buy more gadgets. :-)
