On June 12th 2008 the DojoMojo blog took its first tentative step into the Ultimate blogosphere. In that first post we described ourselves as "the oldest, most gloriously history-laden and also most spectacularly well-merchandised team around", and nothing much has changed. Except for the fact that, including this one, 100 posts have taken up their own tiny chunks of server space somewhere out there in the great Google cloud...
Over the past 26 months we've interviewed the biggest names in the BPL, had our team shirt voted one of the best in the world (thanks everyone), written plenty of controversial stuff (none of which we regret in any way), and of course provided video coverage of a multitude of BPL games and two Grand Finals (the ones we weren't playing in) absolutely free of charge.
For those with a statistical bent, or even just the slightest degree of curiosity, or perhaps just wanting to dodge work for a few minutes, here's a few interesting DojoMojo Blog facts:
6,849 unique visitors
29.96% new visits
#1 most viewed post: Sorry Mum (251 visits)
#2 most viewed post: Smells Like Bad Spirit (153 visits)
#3 most viewed post: Worst Huck Ever (147 visits)
Seems nothing rates quite as high as a good old Spirit controversy, eh?!
Visitors have viewed the blog from 43 different countries (including the odd visit from interesting-sounding places like Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Lithuania and Laos, among many others).
Top Ten Visiting Nations:
#1 Australia - 6,031 visitors
#2 USA - 341 visitors
#3 Canada - 133 visitors
#4 UK - 59 visitors
#5 Germany - 26 visitors
#6 Hong Kong - 20 visitors
#7 Ireland - 13 visitors
#8 New Zealand - 12 visitors
#9 Brazil - 12 visitors
#10 Japan - 10 visitors
Sure, we're not likely to be targeted by News Ltd for a hostile takeover anytime soon, but it's good to know that people around the world are getting to read - and watch! - the way Ultimate is played here in Brisbane. Hope you're liking what you see.

Congrats Stephen - the best BPL blog going around. Keep on telling it how it is.
ReplyDeleteAnd tick one up for Sweden!
I think I am responsible for all 13 of those Irish visits...

Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIn particular, the applause should be that almost every one of those 100 posts have been *substantial*.
SFC has certainly taken over the most spectacularly well-merchandised team around' title, but the rest is pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteSo you've decided to retire at 100?
ReplyDeleteKeen on hearing some match reports from the last 3 weeks! I'm getting dangerously close to doing actual work during the day...
