Official Google Blog: A year of success

Karen Wickre of the Google Blog team reports the Official Google Blog has been a success. During 2005, they’ve made 201 posts offering insights into product and technology news as well as the Google culture. The result: 4.3 million unique visitors.

We’ve published 38 how-to tips, announced 77 new products and services, and addressed policy questions and legal matters 17 times. We’ve featured 11 guest bloggers. Forty posts have illuminated something about day to day life at Google; 19 have offered some international perspective.

In 2006, we’ll keep up the Google Blog with more posts, more bloggers, and even more topics. Meanwhile, we really appreciate your interest and feedback, now visible through “Links to this post.” We know some of you would like to offer comments directly, and we would like that too, when we can add resources to the blog crew.

Law firms and professional businesses ain’t going to draw 4 million visitors but there’s a lot to be gained by offering professional insights and sharing a bit of your firm’s culture.
