Top 100 Kottu Clicks Ever

The MySQL plumbing


Kottu has actually been keeping a record of the top posts ever for a few years now. So there is a Top 100 of sorts, based on clicks out of Kottu. There are 45,000 links dating from May 2007. So about two years of data. Some of the top are just blogs (not posts), like Dom’s blog, or RD’s. There’s still a big enough list. I’ve included some here, and then you can view the Google Spreadsheet here. Note that this is only 1000 out of 45,000, just cause I can’t upload the lot. If anyone wants the whole set or some other output can do. This, of course, isn’t the best posts. If anything it’s the best titles. But it is some data for people, like Cerno, if they’re going about making a collection of the Top 100 Sri Lankan blog posts.

On first seeing this I was surprised but I’ve now realised there is only one explanation.

My mother must have found my blog.

How in Hades did I end up on this list!!!?? Nice if not slightly odd surprise. But there are people with hundred of hits per post . I counted 8 post on indi.ca with over 300 hits EACH – that’s at least a total of 2400.

Curious as to how this all ads up

Many thanks for spreading the word btw :) I’m trying to push the human recommended angle over the statistical ;)

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.

Future Porn

There’s nothing wrong with pornography, but there’s a lot wrong with porn. Nothing wrong with watching people have sex, but too often that sex is brutal, senseless and coerced. I mean how many couples are coming on each others faces every day? Hence, philosopher king Alain de Botton – after calling for a new atheism, replete with temple – is now calling for a new pornography. One which is “fit for thoughtful, good human beings”. Good idea.

Sri Lanka To Offer Dual Citizenship Again

Sri Lanka is going to start offer dual citizenship again, for people of Sri Lanka descent (ie, those who migrated or their kids). Which is good. Still not an actual immigration policy, but getting, well getting back to the status quo. I got dual citizenship years ago.
