Some bloggy stats

My sense of my readership based on the comments is that the majority are non-technical non-bloggers so I thought I’d post some stats on blogging in gerneral as it is unlikely you read Dave Sifry’s blog. Dave is CEO of Technorati, the main blog search engine and the company responsible for things like the tags you see at the end of my posts and microformats, the technology we’re building our business, LouderVoice on.

Best Bond since Goldfinger. Great plot, good acting, actually exciting stunts. <div> Review of <span class="type">product</span>: <span class="item"><span class="fn">[Casino Royale (2006) Movie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381061/)</span></span></div> Rated as 4/5 on Apr 03 2007 by Conor O’Neill Initially everyone hated the idea of Daniel Craig doing Bond. Then the movie came out and they all ate crow. We finally saw it on DVD over the weekend and it was worth the wait. It’s back to the cold, harsh, darkly witty Bond of old with so much of the baggage of thirty years discarded.
