And this is the 1000th post in my blog2… Starting with short and mostly banal posts in the first three quarters (beginning September 2006) – with a fan-tas-tic average of 2.5 posts per month –, both content and frequency of posts slowly increased, and on 12 June 2007, drumroll please, the first trackback from another blog arrived at my quick report about the first, miserable “public beta” of Apple’s Safari browser for Windows – 16 minutes after publication, hooray for Google’s speed! –, and slowly the first visitors and commentators (that I didn’t know personally) arrived, and things really started with the Technorati link campaign in August 2007 – let’s face it, who really cares about the Technorati Authority? The visitors (and commentators) coming through such a campaign are what’s really important!

Well, we’ll see the thousands more posts and comments the future will bring…
