It is amazing to me how blog sites can attract so many viewers! It really is the way of the future, there like magazines but not as static, and with fewer publication costs!
I liked the relation of the 747 jet to the visitors to this site. When you put it that way it makes the number more understandable. I look forward to reading some of 2011′s articles.
Thanks for the informative engaging site!

I think this site has so much room for potential growth! Many of the web sites where viewers came from web pages that are used daily by most Fresno State students. Black board, twitter, and facebook are probably all on students’ favorites tab on their web browser. I am not sure how to go about it, but advertising on these commonly used web sites could increase activity. The increases in photos is also impressive! People like to see photos and I believe that is an attraction for most people.

I wonder if most of the traffic to this site comes from students? When you make it an assignment to all of your students to come here, read the blogs, and comment, I’m sure it helps a lot in that “wow’ blog-health-o-meter reading. But I have to admit, some of these posts are very interesting.

I think the Blog is slowly beginning to evolve into these threads and forums which we are seeing more of. What I’m Curious to find out is what is the overall health of all blogging in general? I think we’re also seeing a trend where most online discussion is taking place on “social networks.”
