Wordle 2014

I have a tradition to create Word Cloud with Wordle of the blog posts I've written during the year. It visually shows what I have written about. It's a nice easy way to see what this blog is all about.

Wordle of Blog Posts from 2014

It wasn't a surprise to myself or anyone who have read my blog, that word book is the most popular word in my blog. That's how it has been in the previous years and that's how it most probably will be in the future. The next most popular was people. That has been in the second place in the previous years also.

To get more insights of what I have written this year, I removed Book and People from the word cloud to see what were the next most popular words. (note: common words have been removed)

After this change the Wordle looks much more interesting. I'm happy that I've written about organizations, work and companies a lot. That's something that has interested me and I'm glad that I've also blogged about those.

Best and Most Popular Posts of Web Wanderer Blog in 2014

Blogging frequency have been going down again from the previous years. One reason has been that I haven't read as many books I would have hoped to. Also I haven't written that many other posts that in previous years. On the other hand, I've written down almost 30 ideas of blog posts that I should write. So blog isn't fading away, I just need to find the time to write it in the future.

Five Most Popular Posts from 2014

1. Separate Testing is Waste
2. Book Review: The Essential Deming: Leadership Principles from the Father of Quality
3. Disease of Being Busy
4. Book Review: The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris
5. Book Review: All The Devils are Here by McLean and Nocera

Most of the posts come from earlier this year, so maybe that's the reason those got more reads than the newer ones. This year I didn't have any one post that would have been much more popular that any else, but there were many which were quite popular.

For some reason the most read blog posts of the year were from 2011. These three blog posts suddenly raised to be popular this year. Almost no one had read those before, but now these got lot of attention. It is weird, but it also proves that good content will find its way to be read sooner or later. There are the three posts from 2011 that actually were most read this year:

• What I miss in the internet - real discussions
• One Hundred Posts
• Ideas are seeds, execution are the plants

My Own Five Favorite Posts 2014

• Why "how are you" is so difficult to Finns
• Estimates or #noestimates
• Work Needs to be Fun - Happy people are more Effective
• Disease of Being Busy
• Separate Testing is Waste

This time again, only one of the most popular posts are the same from the ones I think that were my best posts. All of these got attention, but I would have wished those would have got even more attention.

Thanks for everyone who has read my blog during this year. It's been good year and let's wish next one will be even better.
