First, I enjoyed your blog and thought you might like mine. Click here for some of my best jokes and videos The Peter Files Blog of Comedy, Jokes, Commentary and Video.

End of shameless self-promotion.

I have also experienced a “January Effect” and I wonder if it is not because this winter there are not just more people out there searching the internet looking for answers to questions relating to the future of our country, or, how to escape thinking about it.

As I analyze where hits are coming to my blog which features a little political satire, but not a lot, I have seen an upsurge in queries relating to both political and escapist kinds of themes.

A more important kind of impact may have been the Hollywood writers strike sending new people to the internet who have felt let down by mainstream media.

Some of them may never go back!

I’m not a pro, just a guy trying to spread a little joy and chase those naughty blues away.

Of course not all networks are the same: following the twitter -stream is more passive than let's say becoming LinkedIn friends.
