You're right ... and as soon as I find the email where I registered for SU I'll share the name! Too many projects on the desk right now, so filing's gotten a little sloppy.

I'm also new to SU and I was very surprised about the traffic. But I guess it's low quality traffic if you consider CTR as "quality" :) You should reveal your SU username, so that we can see sites you like :) Thank you very much!

Thanks for the reminder that I should give it another shot.

And Markus: For someone who claims you’re “still learning” English you write amazingly well. If only I was picking up Hebrew as quickly!

I blog in English so I guess I fit your description ;) But I must admit, that I'm still learning! My recource for news is, of course the RSS reader. There are some big, influential blogs I am subscribed to and of course some smaller blogs, too. As Army Kate I use the StumbleUpon toolbar which is somehow a great recource to find interesting text (like this one) but a big waste of time, too - if you ask me :) Next to the blogs I go to different newspaper sites. If a good english book is published I'm interested in I usually buy it via amazon. They ship popular and some less popular books very cheap to Germany. The reason why I blog in English and why I'm reading blogs written in English is that there are usually more people interested in one topic. I guess that is because everyone, regardless of their mother tongue, can participate in an English discussion. Best Regards from Germany Markus Hi!
