Strange Maps launched last September and first came to my attention in October. Since then it’s generated all kinds of buzz in the blogging world, establishing itself as a map blog with serious crossover appeal. I’ve been delighted to see it do well. Really well, as it turns out: in only six months it’s generated 500,000 hits. If hits equals page views in their stats, that’s a tremendous number: compare it with the 620,000 page views I had in the same period, with an established and relatively stable audience. That means Strange Maps should completely pwn me over the next six months. Congratulations!
