That's the number that just caught my eye when I was looking up a past post on my blog a moment ago. If you look over to the left, you'll see it, too. Well, not exactly, as it's likely continued to tick up a little since I began writing this post. It reflects the number of views this blog has had since I launched it in December 2010. Just two words come to mind when I see it: thank you.
Thank you for reading, for your comments and your general interest in storytelling with data.
This seems like a good (albeit random) point to pause for a moment, to link back to some popular posts you may have missed and ask you to weigh in on what you'd like to see here in the future.

where should I go in 2015?
I'm also looking ahead to my 2015 public workshop schedule. If you'd like to recommend a city or location, you can do so here.
Thank you very much for reading!

How about a visualization on Blog activity in honor of the 500K?
ReplyDeleteCongrats Cole! That's a big milestone!
ReplyDeleteHi Cole! Your blog has influenced my career. Using your approach, I now have the attention and routine meetings with the leadership of my 20,000-member federal agency. And simple graphs based on your ideas routinely get broadcast to all 20,000 people. The outcomes of your influence will not be measurable until the fall of next year, but I anticipate them to be huge. You may not have known you would have a huge impact on public safety and the taxpayer, but you do.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite posts are where you walk through a bad visualization and show how to improve it. It's a great learning exercise - thank-you for sharing!
