Blogging...........

Here is a list of search terms (mostly Google) used to access Regulator Watch Statistics for Regulator Watch Feb 2010 during February 2010.

“All very interesting”, said the professor. In addition there are of course those who simply access the Blog through a “saved” URL and others who access via a link in another Blog or website.

The Blog has had traffic from a wide range of public bodies (police, government departments, local authorities, Ofsted, GSCC, the information commissioner et al) the majority of which is generated by complaints by Mrs C in Warwickshire. As yet the milk marketing board have yet to visit! Some are friends (insiders) of Wilt in those agencies who are very familiar with Mrs C. Wisely they do not use their work computers to leave postings on the Blog.

Mr Plaskitt MP has disappeared entirely – we suspect his focus may be on the upcoming election in his very marginal seat.

By far the most prolific visitor is Mrs C rising from an average 3 times daily to up to 7-8 times some days and late into the night on occasions. She leaves her muddy footprint (hobnail boots) all over the Blog and yet will not contribute. As usual she does everything by proxy i.e. complaining to others. Something about missing/stolen files or something!

Yesterday she visited 4 times – last weekend over a dozen times, even whilst away from home via t-mobile. Now, that is true obsession.

Overall traffic on the website is growing from all over the world but the UK remaining by far the largest. Nothing from Turkey yet, although Wilt knows a man who has a summer visitor to his website from that location – wonder who that might be?

We love the blogosphere and of course there are now offspring (sons and daughters) of Regulator Watch and other Blogs linking to us, which we reciprocate.

There remains efforts by some to “spam” messages selling everything you could think of – hence the need to moderate.

Now the LGA (Local Government Association) are encouraging much more engagement with the press according to this Community Care article: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/03/01/113928/lga-urges-social-workers-to-develop-relations-with-media.htm

File Doctor et al are now doing this on the Mrs C case matter. They keep going on about something called “freedom of expression” although unlike Mrs C those correspondents actually use facts as distinct from distorted or data restricted to a certain point of view (such as Plaskitt MP or Mrs C might like – you know the full details, and things which others would prefer not be published.
