I lost the Lijit sidebar when I upgraded to IE 9. I immediately wanted to use the Lijit sidebar. One feature I've been ignoring is the audience analytics. And now, here you are:
I have NO idea where it got this information. It's a little creepy. TMI, people! TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
Let's take it from the top.
Gender: Men, you realize if you don't comment I have no choice but to assume you are here for the toe porn. And if you are, that's fine. Sorry to bore you with all the other stuff. Spunky appreciates your devotion. Kisses!
Age: That's over one person under 18 here. Damn kids! Get offa my blog! If you don't your uteruses will drop out when you are older.
Ethnicity: I don't want to make the one tenth of an asian person who reads this feel self-conscious, but are you all really this white? Just today a rapper followed me on Twitter, followed by a FUBU Executive. Of course, they might follow everybody. But this shows an appalling lack of diversity.
And the shocker, Children: Clearly I need to stop being all polite about babies. Aren't they fucking boring? Here's a link we can all enjoy: Five Horrible Things No One Tells You About Babies.
(Then again, maybe that means there are no children living in the home. Children are our future.)
Income: This might be skewing a little high because of all those toe-sucking executive men lurking here.
Education: Even though the numbers come in second, that's a pretty substantial number for No College. I'm pleased about that. In fact, except for the Extreme CAUCASIANESS of you people, and your UNANIMOUS HATRED OF BABIES, you are all pretty diverse.
Yeees, Lijit is very cagey about where it gets these figures - it's hard to see how they could possibly know all this stuff, other than just thinking up the numbers.
Apart from being female and Caucasian (sorry), I'm in the absolute minority for all but one of your categories.

*blink*
Other than being 42, that's me. Maybe I read your blog too much!

I'm in the kid-having 7%! I will nearly single-handedly repopulate your blog audience!

I have kids. And I'm forty-one. And I'm from Botswana. Okay, not really. But I'm Canadian - does that count?

This is the second time today I've been able to make a Soul Man reference. Surely you don't want us emulating that movie.

How do it know?
Posted by: Hattie | August 29, 2011 at 10:55 PM
Big Dot - That's what I like to hear! The differences between us give room for us to grow. Snif.
Tami - Well, it's me too. It's just, strange to think you're all like me. I was of the opinion you all were looking at me like a freak. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
S - (hi, S!) Thank you for passing the torch to the next generation. Someone around here has to do it.
Allison - Cananda counts! And thank you for having kids. That's the one that really worries me.
Caroline - How uncool am I? I just had to look up "Soul Man Movie."
Hattie - THANK you! You gave me a chance to look up the origins of "How do it know." http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=How%20do%20it%20know%3F

Now I'm rubbed up all the wrong way by reading that definition with all its spelling and punctuation mistakes and then seeing it's been turned into verbatim MUGS AND T-SHIRTS AND MAGNETS!!!
Does Lijit have a category for pedantry?
Posted by: Big Dot | August 30, 2011 at 02:43 AM
Big Dot - What you taking 'bout, Big Dot? It's a catchphrase! There are no grammar rules of catchphrases.
Posted by: TheQueen | August 30, 2011 at 09:35 PM
Yes, yes, I know THAT. Didn't you read the definition you put the link to? Illicit instead of elicit, missing apostrophes and hyphens - and all of it transferred directly, as is, to t-shirts and mugs. Oh, the humanity!
Posted by: Big Dot | August 31, 2011 at 12:03 AM
It's my cousin's favorite joke.
Posted by: Hattie | August 31, 2011 at 09:33 PM
Big Dot - Actually, since most of the Urban Dictionary submissions are from 12 year old boys, this was pretty articulate.
Hattie - I like it. "Cold in summer, hot in winter. How do it know?"

I was wondering how often you read you own blog.
By the way, it's much easier to dislike children if you have them.
Posted by: Hot Mom | September 01, 2011 at 07:22 PM
Another mom. Four children. I'll be interested to hear about how the bladder sling goes.
Posted by: Wendy | September 01, 2011 at 08:21 PM
Hot Mom - You're right! Myself and Gary could account for the make / female split, since he is kind of a girl.
Wendy - I will. First there are tests and vaginameters and pee diaries. If I get to the sling, I'll let you kmow.

I'm late to the party but I'm a 32 yo white lady with no education and no kids. I bet you can guess if I make loads of cash with my education!
Posted by: jessica fantastica | September 10, 2011 at 02:41 AM
Jessica fantastica - Gary and I were just talking about how our respective companies don't require an education. But they then expect experience, and that's a bitch.
