What people consider interesting...

Posted by herkules on November 04, 2006 at 02:19 PM | Comments (3)

Recently I reviewed my blogs access statistics and was quite puzzled why my latest blog about 3D cloud rendering attracted only very few readers. Only about 10% of what I usually have. My expectations have been quite the opposite. I though that an unusual topic (not dealing with creation of web pages) is what makes people curious. About what people do with Java besides creating web pages? About something colourful, animated? People are ten times more fascinated about my thoughts of why I cannot use groovy. How is that possible? What's wrong?

The java.net statistics are very unreliable. I happen to know that since i put the pictures under the relevant projects and use the logger to parse the server access logs and provide the "real" stats. You can also register for a free tracker (such as SiteMeter) and put it on the blog.

people are busy :)do you want popularity? offer a solution for a well known problem... Tomcat memory leaks, spnego-sso, jaxb customization tips, Glassfish easy setup or javascript magic tricks and so on :))
innovation is wonderful, but people get more admired when you show a simple solution for tricky problems they spend several weeks trying without success :)

Hm, this also has to be the reason why nobody reads Kirill Grouchnikov's or Romain Guy's blog :)
