Whenever we release a new Podcast, I see the RSS subscriber numbers go up. This is partly due to iTunes and Odeo subscriptions, but also everyday subscribers who are following the text side of this blog via the RSS feed get our Podcasts. Included in those numbers are those of you who get an email version of the Post by way of FeedBurner email.
When we installed the Feedjit widget on the blog for a map of recent visitors, it was no surprise to see the concentration of readers in the U.S. But, in looking at the FeedBurner reports of subscribers (to the RSS feed), we have been following the recent ratio favoring the UK. Depending on the day, the UK FeedBurner subscribers far outpace the US.
Let me take this opportunity to send a healthy shout out to the UK and say, “thank you”. Having spent a fair amount of time in the UK, and a three-year employment stint working for a UK-based company, I get a warm feeling being able to share some conversation across the pond.
But now I find I have a question gnawing at me. What am I doing in putting Posts together that has a broader appeal such as this, and seems to favor a UK audience in some form? When working in the UK, and other nearby countries, I found we were all faced with similar issues as it relates to business and work/life balance. But this blog often goes down a path that is not related to business. Whether a new product introduction, or reflections on a recent do-it-yourself project, not all the links or stories seemed global to me. Or, are they?
