This is the 2000th time I have posted on this blog since it began as "TheRedCouch" in December 2004. That was the first of a good number of names for the book that eventually came out as Naked Conversations. It was called red Couch after a piece of furniture in my co-author, Robert Scoble's house.
Global Neigbourhoods is th third name for this blog, which has received 8622 comments, according to Typepad. WebPage Grader says that sometime in the past few days I received my 50,000 inbound links. I am not sure of the exact number, but I'm pretty certain that I've posted over a million words here, more than 13 times as many as we wrote in Naked Conversations.
What a terrific journey it has been. What a wonderful journey I know it will continue to be. Thanks to so many people in so many places for so many interesting conversations. I have learned so much from so many people. Social media has brought me to 14 countries so far. This would never have happened without this blog and China is kind of the cherry on the Sundae.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
