Default Hostel Blogging Stats

More hostels have been blogging lately and I'm feeding all of the blogs I know about into the Hostel Blogs Twitter account.

Every time a hostel posts a blog post, they get a little extra exposure on Twitter. Many people in the travel industry and media are following that Twitter account...

Here's a graph of how hostels are blogging:

(It may take a minute or two to load the page because it has to process the data.)

Number of blog posts by month:
Code:
Dec 2008:   80 posts
Jan 2009:   212 posts
Feb 2009:   183 posts
Mar 2009:   135 posts
Apr 2009:   198 posts
May 2009:   218 posts
June 2009:  223 posts
(Not 100% accurate, but gives a rough idea of how hostels are creating blog content.)

The first attached image shows the number of posts per month. The second image shows times of the day (not accurate because sometimes the Twitter account only updates a few times per day). Thursday seems to be the most popular blogging day.

Default Re: Hostel Blogging Stats

I´ve opened a new blog because it has more transit and better google positioning!
So, it´s only me moving the text:

www.blogs.clarin.com/kapakehostel

I also write there, me Luciana the non-manager part!
www.blogs.clarin.com/xlucianax

It´s great because you put xlucianax in google and I´m there!! LOL
Clarin is a BIG newspaper here. So Kapake Blog will soon be a nice place to visit!

I love this blog culture, I love reading and writing.
