Future blog posts will be on SemiWiki.com, I hope to see you there!
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 160,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 6 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 52 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 113 posts. There were 530 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 43mb. That’s about 1 picture per day.
The busiest day of the year was December 13th with 1,664 views. The most popular post that day was Mentor – Cadence Merger and the Federal Trade Commission.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were linkedin.com, yahoo.com, design-reuse.com, chipdesignmag.com, and Google.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for daniel nenni, tsmc 28nm, tsmc 40nm, dan nenni, EDA360, semiconductor yield, semiconductor design, and semiconductor forecast.

Did reads via RSS feeds of your blog appear in your stats as referred from Google if use Google’s RSS reader?
I don’t see any sign of RSS feeds from semiwiki – without that, it’ll be harder to follow you.
Yes. RSS sends out a teaser and if the reader clicks to the site WordPress counts it.
SemiWiki has RSS on the front page (blogs) and on the main forums. You can also follow a specific wiki or forum discussion by subscribing.
This is SemiWiki version 1.0, there is more to come, your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

semiwiki is great, but don’t forget tools – engineering is not paperwork & power-point only
