Why do I blog as CityEconomist?
Because I can tell within hours whether I have hit on a good topic and posted something that is interesting. In that case the number of people who look at the post rises from a fairly immediate 2-10 to 20 or 30. If the views stop there, the topic is clearly of limited interest to the CityEconomist audience (you).
But on a good day the views will rise quickly to 100 and keep going. Sometimes they will keep climbing for days, even months. I don't know who is reading my posts unless you sign up for Google + (or some other feed that notifies me), but it is enough to know that the posts are being read. Thank you.
So I blog for... feedback.
FYI, here are the most-read posts, in order of readership, as of 100 posts ago (it takes time for a post to accumulate readers). Four of the posts have had more than 1,000 views. I was in Washington working for the Joint Economic Committee between April 2009 and May 2011, which explains why there are no posts during that period.
It is easy to get to them via Google - just type "CityEconomist" and some of the listed key words. The date will also take you to the post on www.cityeconomist.blogspot.com.
Thank you for reading! Please comment or send me an email at john@cityeconomist.com.
