A cliche’ among us small hobby bloggers is the Tamalanche, in which Tam at View From The Porch links to something you posted and your page views spike briefly into big-boy numbers. It’s a rush.
I don’t really know anything about comparative statistics or where TUAK lies on the readership bell curve, but I do pay attention to page view stats. The time is past when I wondered if anybody was even reading the damned thing. TUAK’s very first month saw something like 750 page views, and now that’s a slow day. But readership plateaued and has held steady for years now. TUAK is kind of an odd duck, not really classifiable as this or that, and its appeal is always going to be limited. Day to day I’m basically just talking to my friends, you know, but sometimes I do fantasize that after almost seven years TUAK has become one of the big(ger) boys.
And then along comes Tam, to put me right back in my highchair. 🙂
A very nice QoD…
…shows me I haven’t outgrown a good Tamalanche.
Well, it was a really good post, Joel. 🙂
And a really good money quote. I posted the same line on Facebook before I saw Tam’s version.
Tam knows a good ‘un when she sees it.
