Stats
Written by Writer guy on November 8th, 2008A few statistics about samhilliard.com
Years of operation: 5
Posts: With this one, 957 though a few more entries remain in draft status, some approaching nearly three years.
Comments: 8240. Due to comment moderation, diligence and filtering scripts, less than one percent of these are spam
Lessons learned: Countless.
Contacts created and/or maintained: Less than indeterminate. A goodly amount, let’s say.
Friends made because of the site: At least three.
Girls who became more interested in me because of the site: More than expected, let’s say.
On other fronts, the marketing stuff is falling into place. While I never expected the project to take this long, given my experience lands in other areas and there’s a large group of people involved, I’m learning to deal with delays. Next time the estimate will be more realistic.
At least one part of it is very close, so I can feel good about that. I might be able to post a peek of the graphic that as well a still from the . . . other piece.

I’m continually amazed by the friends I’ve made through both my own website and the Internet as a whole. Some have become as close, if not closer, than friends I’ve made at work or school. It’s truly remarkable.

I have made several friends online, one in Perth, WA & one in Oslo, NO
The internet has helped reacquaint me with several old friends.

I guess that’s proof positive that the Internets are a good means forging connections with people separated by distance or demographics.
