neonvincentHappy Throwback Thursday!
It may not be the star of a new month yet, but it is the start of a new blogging year, so it's time for me to use this journal as the attic for Crazy Eddie's Motie News by posting the most read entries of the previous blogging year. I've already started writing up retrospectives with 'Frontline' updates 'Facebook knows your political affiliation and much more,' the top post of the eighth year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
Top posts for the year
1 (1). Facebook knows your political affiliation and much more
April 7, 2018
(It earned ~5600 page views in the first two hours and ~24,000 page views in the first 24 hours after being shared at the Join The Coffee Party Movement Facebook page at 9:30 P.M on 4/7/18. It knocked "Trump thinks Sanders is the right enemy" out of the all-time top ten and passed "The tax bill and the U.S. economy in 2018" at 12:50 A.M. on April 8th, followed shortly after by "John Oliver on stadiums and NFL cheerleaders" a few minutes before 1:00 A.M. "Trump thinks Sanders is the right enemy" later returned as "The tax bill and the U.S. economy in 2018" fell out on its own when its default page views were recalculated. "Last Week Tonight examines Clinton and Trump Foundations" was the next entry to drop a place about 2:00 A.M. By 6:00 A.M., it rose up the ranks past "Spring ahead, although it's probably not good for you" and "Vox on Puerto Rico statehood and John Oliver on territories" to reach 5th. By 7:00, it rose past "Doctors to Congress: Fund gun violence research at the CDC and NIH" to rank 4th. It blew past "Vox explains how proportional representation can solve gerrymandering and help minor parties" about 8:50 A.M. to rank third. Twenty minutes later, it surpassed Update to 'Vox explains how proportional representation can solve gerrymandering and help minor parties,' the second most read entry for the seventh year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News, plus minor parties. Just before 3:00 P.M., it sailed past Suit against John Oliver and HBO dismissed to become the most read entry in the history of the blog as well as the most read entry of April 2018. The post helped attract 23,947 page views to the blog the day it was shared, a new record. It also propelled the blog past the minumum page view goal for April 2018 of 61,650 on April 8, 2018.)

It may not be the star of a new month yet, but it is the start of a new blogging year, so it's time for me to use this journal as the attic for Crazy Eddie's Motie News by posting the most read entries of the previous blogging year.

Speaking of liking things, Infidel 753 wrote "I did a Google search on 'Broken Peach' and your October post about them was in ninth place in the results. You may have a few of their fans reading" in a comment to Merry Christmas 2017 from Broken Peach and Crazy Eddie's Motie News. My response was "I'm flattered by that. I hope they are!" It looks we were both right, as this entry had earned 2117 raw page views on the first anniversary of my posting it. It currently has 2322. The first would have placed it 32nd among entries posted last year and the second 31st. Wow!The post ended the eighth year of blogging here with 3009 page views.
