Hmmm...

Nothing wacky to post here (yet - just sat down in front of my monitors) but I was thinking before I wandered up to the computer...

I've posted three (count 'em below - 1, 2 3) times and have got no comments (nada, zip, none). Now I'm quite fine with this - AFAIK only one person knows about this blog right now - but it got me thinking about the strange "place" the internet is. I was thinking about how you float something out there on the web and then people - who you'll never, ever meet or talk to - will wander along and take a look.

Some of the time you don't even know it has happened. 6000 people could have read my blog since I created it last night. They could even have enjoyed it. However, I won't ever know that they've been.

It's a strange feeling. I can only liken it to giving a speech while standing blindfolded in the middle of a room - which might or might not have people in it. Since I've started thinking about it it sorta wierded me out.

Hmmmmm...

Ah well, new places on the internet await.

(ahh I hate having to post anon on these silly things)

Anyway just because I'm one of those '6000'people, I thought I would
a/be first to comment :D
b/ just say hello and
c/ say I so agree it is very freaky, I have had I don't know how many views on my blog and the only 'know' of are the one's who comment. Sometime I just want a random I don't know who you are comment, but when you get those, {if they aren't spam} they can freak you out :D

~sorry will stop rambling now~

Well I know about your blog now a well :)

Your first entry linked to my site, and I've got a technorati watchlist up to see when sites link to mine. That pointed me here.

Also, by default, blogger pings blo.gs and the like when you post, which means you'll get a large amount of random readers through, people who are just looking for new and interesting blogs to read...
