This isn't really my blog anymore. I still get to decide what the topic of the day is. But the conversation here at AVC is what makes this place special. So, here are the highlights of 2011 (based on disqus and google analytics from Jan 1 to Dec 31):
– Most liked comment: Seth Godin calling bullshit on my marketing post with the line that "marketing /= advertising". That was liked 208 times, 2.5x the second most liked comment this past year.
– Most repied to comment: Andy Swan asking the OWS crowd "What is the negative effect on you when another man earns much more money than you do? Why do you care? Why do you not applaud his success?" Andy is the Howard Roark of this community and thank god we have one.
– Most active thread: No surprise there. Occupying My Mind with 990 comments. I'm tempted to re-open the comment thread and post 1o more comments.
– Most liked community member: No surprise there either. Our very own robot dinosaur. Don't ever change grimster.
– Most popular community other than AVC: Mark Suster's blog followed by Gotham Gal's blog.
It was a great year here at AVC. 4.2mm visits, 58,000 comments, and untold insights, friendships, and chuckles.
Happy New Year Everyone!
