At the end of September our blog has taken a year of life and I must say that in terms of viability, perhaps I did not expect much. In fact, the evidence went well beyond expectations and some numbers will be far more eloquent than words could be.
Ten thousand contacts in a year means an average of more than thirty visits per day, with peaks at times of over a hundred visits a day.
Beyond the number of visits, rather surprisingly, the number of interventions recorded: more than a thousand (including mine), so no less than six hundred comments posted by visitors to this unusual meeting space. They
recorded over one hundred different nick name for many different presumed visitors. Four of them remained anonymous. Some visitors have taken place only once or at most two (the meteors of the blog) and others have been seen time to time. There were also requests "packaged" with behavior, I would say, "quantum" in the sense that for a given visitor there were several interventions in a space of time and then nothing, or to return months later and under similar conditions. In general, I noticed that the measures in the first burst following a short time, then intervenes drowsiness, during which I have not yet figured out if the visitor is absent only from commenting on the blog or in all respects.
Finally there are the "loyal", very few have to say, but those who keep alive the blog. Real friends from the unknown face, and with whom among them has woven a relationship going far beyond the limits of "virtual".
However, beyond the numbers, there is another aspect that was the real surprise: the geographical origin of the link. Here's what it is.
Besides the obvious connections from Italy and other EU countries (Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, the Netherlands), are guided by Ireland, Switzerland, United States of America, Argentina, Brazil and even the Russian Federation.
So if I were not afraid of sin of presumption, I would say that our planet has a blog.
What about instead of content?
On these I leave to you the word. In the end it was you with your ideas to elucidate the orientation, which has gone far beyond the original purpose of creating an enclosed space to the novel, its characters and its history. On the other hand, the subtitle of the blog speaks of "an interactive space to exchange ideas, thoughts and comments on the characters and themes of the narrative. And not only ... '.
Here, behind that "not only" we could be of everything. And so it was.
good attendance to all of you. Review all account and for a long time.
