I used it as a way to share very limited interesting events with family and friends. Instead of posting to Facebook, I would post maybe a half dozen blog/photo updates a year. Those that asked and really wanted to know what I was up to could go look at it.
90% of my views came from some dude in Japan who thought I was beautiful. I'm no newb to the internet so the only photos of me were at a distance and while I was wearing hats and sunglasses. I had no identifying information on there, but didn't trust all my friends and family not to put something in the comments. So I pulled it down.
BlueAitoKan77, I'm sure you were beautiful too but no thank you. (Not their actual handle, obfuscated some for their privacy)
That's crazy. 90% of views from a single person. How often does this happen usually?
It was just a website meant for friends and families so view count was always going to be super low. He would view each post several times and comment on almost all of them multiple times over the course of months, so I could tell he was going back to my site again and again.
I've never had that happen before or since, but nor have I tried!
