I finally decided to add a hit counter in my blog.
For those unfortunate ones who know not a single bit about this technological advancement, I shall give you something analogical to make a sense out of this senseless crap.
Security guards use a device, held by hand, and activated by the gentle press of the thumb, in the entrance gates of malls and other buildings, to determine the number of people who enter the establishment at specific times of the day. Too bad they can't count other life forms who enter the gates regardless of whether they are seen or not.
So, a hit counter in a blog or in any other website works in the same manner, only that it can't be held by hand, and it can only be activated by a programme from
www.easycounter.com.
Well, I still don't get the gist of having the need for one. To check on my popularity level, perhaps? Duh, I can open my blog page 1000 times a day and people will be amazed how popular my blog is the moment they check on my blog thirty days later...

Girl 1: Thirty thousand hits a month. Girl, look at this! Cool. He must be a chick magnet. Let's check out his personal particulars then.... checking...Girl 2: Oh shit. He's as skinny as Mandark. As nerdy-looking too. He's just self-obssessed. A lot of guys do that nowadays. Creepy.
Girl 1: Whoa. That's a lot of self-obssessed boys out there.
Girl 2: (nods head) Duh.
Girl 1: Yeah. Pity those guys. (shakes head) They're hopeless.***
Though there isn't a need for that.
As what blogger told me, us:
"A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember. Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalers reveal inner thoughts.
Whatever you have to say, Blogger can help you say it."
Yes, why thank you, Blogger.
I notice a lot of blogs that I read contain the so-called hit counters somewhere in the page. Most of them are located just below the blog title to give a sense of pride to the owner, and a sense of doubt and bewilderment to the visitor.
Well, I guess I belong to the blogos-taxonomic group called the "crappolus bloggosinensis".
You are insane, by the way. Again, congratulations.
