It’s that time again, the end of a year - time to tote up Google’s blogging activity for the last 365 days. First, a few bits of data about this particular blog:
- Number of posts this year: 300
- New product announcements: 15 (not counting our April 1 release)
- News about upgrades and additions to products: 87
- Announcing products in more languages and countries: 30
- Acquisitions: 12
- Unique visitors: 6,738,830 (for 8,655,830 visits)
- Languages: 511 (preferred language configured on computers)
- Top non-Google referrers: Yahoo, Digg, Slashdot, Fark
Beyond these basics, this year saw many more posts on privacy (9), accessibility (10), and energy and the environment (11). We blogged a good deal about Google’s people and culture, our various offices around the world, and the pastimes and passions of Googlers (26, including 2 recipes). We talked about healthcare issues that challenge consumers (5). There were competitions including Google Code Jam and events for developers, educators and others (29). Through YouTube, there has been much political activity (7) in the U.S. as well as in Australia.

From time to time we highlight the non-work interests and pastimes of individual Googlers. - Ed.
I have been working with chainmail, and metal working in general, for nearly 5 years now. I picked it up when I started college. My first major in college was history, and I was going to focus on the Middle Ages because of my fascination with the medieval period. After I changed majors to Computer Science, my hobby remained medievalism.
