    @Matt: I’m shocked your mom doesn’t have a blog… hehe… something like mom.wordpress.com

    Now RoutePress… I’d beta test that :)

    You Mom doesn’t have a WordPress blog, or ANY kind of Web site? Shame!

    Mom doesn´t have a blog, but she “programmed” the boy who created WordPress, if that counts for something :P

    I´ve sent you just one e-mail last year and didn´t recieve a reply … :( yet.

    So this is an invitation to e-mail you lots? Be careful, I love to write… and there is little difference between hitting publish and send. :)

    “Mom,” that’s too cute.

    My mum can’t even turn on her computer without my help, so your Mom is extremely impressive.

    Wow, that is a lot of emails! I can’t imagine sending out that many emails to a single person AND still finding the time to maintain a website, write content, do the promotion, etc.

    Meanwhile, my mom has pretty high computer literacy and also sends her fair share of emails. She still doesn’t have her own website, but I’m having lots of fun showing her my search query stats and giving her free SEO lessons.

    I can believe that Mom beat me, but I can’t believe that I didn’t crack the top ten! Please tell me that I was at least in the top 25??
    To be fair, I should tell you that i haven’t finished making my new year’s resolutions yet…

    Kinda amusing to see that you have time to count who sent how many emails to you and also make a post about it.

    Reply
  • Bill — January 11, 2008 @ 5:12 pm

    There are tools that you can use to count… I have one right now that even tells me what time the email was sent so I could tell you that the number one person that I email is Ron Brown and that the majority of those are sent to me between 4am and 6am Pacific time. I know when Ron works!!!

    thats pretty cool

    what also would be interesting is the amount of spam you got in comparison
    (what general filters do you use is intresting to people like me who deal with email all day)

    have fun

    Spam is definitely not included in these numbers. I actually don’t run spam through my stats script because it would be too process intensive, I just dev/null it before it gets processed.

    I can’t imagine that number of e-mails to one Person!

    You should say:

    These are the people I received the most NON SPAM email from in 2007 (started logging in April):

    Wouldn’t want to give away “follow” links to pork shoulder and sodium nitrite in a can.

    Matt, I just viewed the photos from your Dad’s birthday. The “Houston” caught my eye, as I’m a native Houstonian.

    Your parents are adorable!

    :) , are you really serious about this?
    Are you giving them credit or are you demeaning them?
