Wrapping up 2009

The year is coming to an end and it a good time to look back at how this blog evolved during the year. I started it in March 2008 mainly as my personal blog but as I noticed that most of the articles covered financial networks in one sense or another, and that there was no other blog on the emerging area of financial networks research – I redesigned it during this year to what you see now. I also set up a LinkedId group to bring people working in the area together and for disseminating information on new research or conferences in the area. Please join if you are at LinkedIn.

Of course it is also interesting to know if anyone is reading this blog? According to Google Analytics installed on the site there is quite a steady readership of 80-100 unique visitors each week. Between 15 November and 15 December there were a total of 605 visits and 1667 page views. I think this is pretty good and motivates me to do an even better job in 2010. The below map shows the geographic distribution of the visitors.

Merry Christmas/Holidays and a Happy New Year to all the readers!
