Seeing Spots

by @ngie on September 23, 2008

I love my readers! It is fascinating to me that there are people from all over the world who click through and turn off this little exit on the blogging high-way. It feels kinda like those roadside diners. Isn’t it fun to see where all the liscense plates are from when you make a stop for a bite to eat? Once on a trip from Nebraska to Colorado we tracked liscence plates from all the United States of America except Hawaii; including Alaska!

The Cluster map on my side bar is a diagram of hits to this .com . I thought it would be fun for us to do a little get to know you mixer here, a roadtrip game, if you will. In the comment section leave the name of your spot. Include the name of the city, state / province / department / etc., and the country you read from. Come back and check in to see the expanse of the community you are a part of here. It’ll be fun!

Which spot is yours?

Hi there! I’m Libby Jordan…I’m part of the big red spot in the center of the United States and represent part of the Washington Fan Club at Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. I’ve known Ang & DaRonn for a couple of years from church and have had the marvelous pleasure of serving for their mission at their House of Dreams Orphanage with the precious little ones there! You need to go and take a moment out of your busy life to go help take the kids to the park, bathe and dress 21 kiddos or just play and give hugs and loving! It will change your heart for life!! I promise!

I’m in Indonesia, but I’m wondering if my dot actually shows up as Indonesia? It may show up as Hong Kong because we get our internet through a satellite from Hong Kong. (the only reason I know it’s Hong Kong is because Google always wants to show up in Chinese for me, and says “Google Hong Kong”!!!)

I’m in Scotland – back home after a wonderful weekend with friends in London. Next week I’ll be part of the red dot over Sydney, ’cause I’m going to spend a few days with my folks.

Scotland is home though. Crieff. Right in the middle, and right on the edge of the highlands.

Hello from Wichita, Kansas. Mom, Dad and I check in routinely and may have out own dot or it’s become part of nearby ones. Too bad you can’t zoom farther in on the map and get counts by the street block or even household. But that may be too close to spying and left for the government to do ;)

This is so great to hear where everyone is. :-) I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

@Emily, my sister, you made me laugh with your government joke.

@Libby, my fan, you are such a great cheerleader, I am glad that God plopped us together.

@Sheep – What an amazing view that is!

@Pattie – Glad to have you along for the ride. :-)

I visit from San Juan del Rio, Queretaro, Mexico. I found you on Coffeegirlconfessions. I’ve enjoyed reading your insights. Mexico used to be like Bolivia with the siesta thing, but we’ve gotten too modern and there are no “sacred” times anymore. I really miss those forced times of rest!

I used to be that dot right over Iowa… now, I’m joining in with your South African readership… so that dot will surely be growing :)
