The web may be smart, but it's also rather dumb! Like most bloggers I enjoy checking my stats. This blog is quite popular, and I am intrigued to learn whom is linking to eContent (this blog). Within the last several days these two blog posts have been picked up and linked by Google Trends and IBM ManyEyes:
In the instance of the IBM Link, a real IBM employee saw my Northstar Nerd Tutorial on data visualization and thought it was well done (thank you). In the case of Google Trends, an intelligent (??) bot discovered my Indian Institute of Technology post because of the words Mea and India ... and linked me on the Mea India page ... uh ... thanks also! I've been enjoying the referrals from both locations. Click upon either image for an expanded screenshot. As a post script, my post title is shamelessly playing upon how these bots work!
