Spookiest Visitor Award

Posted by Big Gav

Its always interesting to check the logs to see where visitors are coming from. Up until now the strangest domain I'd seen in there was Centcom (who apparently were curious about Iraqi oil reserves), but today's visit from Halliburton gets the new prize for most curious reader.

Unfortunately they just checked out the front page so its hard to work out what they were interested in - maybe they've just found out about peak oil - and hopefully it wasn't my link to cynical people talking about duffel bags of "reconstruction" cash being handed out in Iraq - I'm sure its all completely above board !

I've gotten a couple of those too. Still waiting for the feds to come and knock down the door.

I tend to hope they are just people at work doing some surfing during a break rather than any sort of interested, and possibly cranky, observer.

I did read an article about Technorati this week that said they are now selling the ability to monitor references to particular companies or industries to corporate clients so they can "work on their message" and such like...

I'm not sure how much added value this offers besides the usual Technorati search by date or PubSub style stuff.
