    Email is my most frequently used social network, so it’s always interesting to see the trends.<\/p>\n

    This year I got 11,459 emails consider “important” by my script, or about 34 a day, and 53,030 “other” emails, excluding spam, mailing lists, and junk.<\/p>\n

    For the first time, I’ve decided to take a look at my outgoing<\/em> emails as well, of which there were 9,101 of to 2,087 unique people, and here’s that list. These are less accurate because an email can be “to:” multiple people, or cc:s, but only ever From: one person, so the stats aren’t entirely correct for the to-list.<\/p>\n

      My number of posts went down, but more words per post, so I’m posting less but meatier things. I made 391 comments myself last year, and it fell off rapidly after that. I would like to get more regular commenters next year, maybe by making the comment form more obvious on the photo pages. Photo pages draw the most repeat traffic.<\/p>\n

      I’m curious about travel stats, but haven’t gotten annual report from Dopplr<\/a> yet.<\/p>\n
