Are you going to share how you logged and tabulated this?
Alejandro Martinez | January 10th, 2008 @ 1:46 pm |
LOL I thought i was going to be part of the Top :p
Matt | January 10th, 2008 @ 2:01 pm |
You’re right, it might be time to release RoutePress.
Sean | January 10th, 2008 @ 2:10 pm |
@Matt: I’m shocked your mom doesn’t have a blog… hehe… something like mom.wordpress.com
Now RoutePress… I’d beta test that
Mom | January 10th, 2008 @ 2:12 pm |
I COULD win if I wanted to…
Billy Dennis | January 10th, 2008 @ 2:12 pm |
You Mom doesn’t have a WordPress blog, or ANY kind of Web site? Shame!
Sabo | January 10th, 2008 @ 3:00 pm |
Mom doesn´t have a blog, but she “programmed” the boy who created Wordpress, if that counts for something
I´ve sent you just one e-mail last year and didn´t recieve a reply …
yet.
Ike | January 10th, 2008 @ 3:30 pm |
Nah. It would be PhotoMomm.net
(Matt – I’d jump on that url if I were you…)
Alt | January 10th, 2008 @ 3:33 pm |
Hehe, I received most of my email from root. I have yet to meet him (or her) in person
Gabriel McGovern | January 10th, 2008 @ 3:40 pm |
Wow – if I had only known you were keeping track.
Cue the mailbombs in: 5 4 3 2 1…
Andy Shen | January 10th, 2008 @ 4:07 pm |
hahaha … i do that type of thing too
i release the stats at the end of the month and then annual statistics.
Dennison Uy - Graphic Designer | January 10th, 2008 @ 4:46 pm |
Okay, I’m curious
David | January 10th, 2008 @ 4:57 pm |
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.
Corinne | January 10th, 2008 @ 5:55 pm |
“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.
Charleen | January 11th, 2008 @ 5:28 am |
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…
Jenny | January 11th, 2008 @ 9:08 am |
I wish I had gotten that much email.
Raj from Bloghash.com | January 11th, 2008 @ 12:10 pm |
Kinda amusing to see that you have time to count who sent how many emails to you and also make a post about it.
Bill | January 11th, 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!!!
Bill | January 11th, 2008 @ 5:13 pm |
Oh… It was 2856 pieces of email by the way…LOL
Niyaz PK | January 12th, 2008 @ 2:16 am |
Hmm…
This year I wont get any spam. Spammers will target Matt…
john.jones.name | January 12th, 2008 @ 3:51 pm |
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

Matt | January 12th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm |
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.
MidMido | January 12th, 2008 @ 10:37 pm |
That’s So Cool
I can’t imagine that number of e-mails to one Person!
Eric Monse | January 15th, 2008 @ 11:40 am |
I want a recount! – Eric Monse
Bill | January 15th, 2008 @ 1:37 pm |
Mine are work related… I email all day so I usually don’t email for personal… I pick up the phone.
maya | January 15th, 2008 @ 3:00 pm |
I sent you 802 e-mails Matt? That’s insane.. I’m so sorrrrrry.
Matt | January 15th, 2008 @ 4:03 pm |
Haha there’s nothing to be sorry about.
Fake Mom | January 16th, 2008 @ 1:58 am |
Hey kids.
Don’t mess with me.
I will shut down this whole thing.
Niyaz PK | January 16th, 2008 @ 1:59 am |
Matt, the link to Maya’s website is broken.
John | January 16th, 2008 @ 4:07 am |
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.
Renae | January 17th, 2008 @ 6:55 am |
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!
Dhruva Sagar | January 17th, 2008 @ 7:43 am |
Are you giving them credit or are you demeaning them?
