One of the more unfortunate things about writing a blog focused on long-form essays that are not easily discussable is that you don’t get a ton of information about your audience just from comments and e-mail dialog. Through limited methods, I have some very rough visibility from what I can put together based on referrer logs, subscribed email addresses, and other sources.

Anyway, here’s a meta-blog post, in tradition with previous ones on top referrers, subscriber boosts from Scoble, and others, I wanted to share a short collection of the wonderful audience I’m very grateful to have reading this blog.

It’s pretty amazing to see how wide and interdisciplinary the audience is – there’s a ton of folks from super-consumery publishers/games, but also advertising and finance folks.

Here’s a selection of the companies that caught my eye:

Advertising and B2B:

• Aster Data Systems
• Medio Systems
• Revenue Science
• Tacoda
• Right Media
• Publicis Groupe
• … and a bunch of ad networks

Games and entertainment

• Electronic Arts
• Linden Lab
• NCSoft
• Sulake
• … and numerous startups like IMVU, Gaia, AreaE, and Weeworld

Media

• Joost
• Yahoo
• Virgin
• Google
• Slide
• Facebook
• MTV
• Hi5
• Tagged
• … and tons of Facebook developers and apps

Finance

• Lazard Freres
• Elevation Partners
• Mohr Davidow Ventures
• Blue Run Ventures
• Sierra Ventures
• Bessemer Venture Partners

Sorry if I’m missing anyone – I have a lot of empty referrer URLs, personal gmail/hotmail/yahoo addresses, and many other untraceable sources

Anyway, thanks to everyone for reading!
