On the last posted link of mine, I've an interesting relationship with Edward Lucas, which includes an appreciation for him. This doesn't mean that I agree with everything he says (the same goes vice versa as well). Forgot to mention Eurasian Home.

I tried it for a day and was quite surprised when I actually looked at how much information about my visitors was being released. So down it came. As I'm new to the blogosphere, maybe I don't understand fully the purpose of publicly relseasing sitemeter data. It seems to me that the main function is to say, "Hey, look at me! Look at me! No, over here! Look, I'm number one! (or in my case, 31, apparently) Look how popular I am! Look at all the people reading my blog! Aren't I important and influential?" Ultimately, I'm not willing to sacrifice my readers' privacy for the sake of publicly stroking my ego, because ultimately these things just become, well, you know what kind of contest...
