Where they came from

Belated thanks to everyone who linked here for our charity fund drive on Tuesday. We definitely would not have reached our goal of 5,000 unique visits without the traffic that others sent our way. This year, Facebook and Twitter were particularly good at getting the word out; as we all know, nowadays through those media, everybody and his brother is on the internet.

Coming up with a list to acknowledge always raises the danger that we might inadvertently omit someone, but here in no particular order are at least some of those who linked here on Tuesday:

Willy Week Give Guide
Stumptown Blogger
UO Matters
Somebody on a ShackNews forum
Al the blogging bus driver
Jake at utterlyboring.com
Max Redline
Linda Kruschke
Lars Larson
Illegal Screen

On Twitter, we got lots of linky love (some of it begrudging) from:

attyatlarge
betsywhim
carlaaxt
icedborscht
norskiewa
JudyBecker
ericfruits
elinell
PDXtrimetrider
ChargerJeff
MaiaSpins

There was also a lot of incoming visitation from Facebook, but for the life of us we can't figure out how to track it down. You Facebook linkers, thank you, too!

There was e-mail and word of mouth as well, and that we have no way of identifying. But it was great, it helped, and it was appreciated.

If we left you out and you'd like to be on the distinguished lists above, just let us know.

We're gathering up the checks from the "inner circle," PayPal is zapping the dough to our bank, and the charity checks are scheduled to head out in Monday's mail. It has been a blast. Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah to all.

Well done!

I wonder how buck-a-hit day would be affected if it coincided with the virtual office party?

That was the best virtual party in a couple of years!

Snarky, informed commentators are a cheerful reminder of truth in light of hypocrisy and sycophantic spinsters and the twitter brigades telling all of us differently.

Great party Jack!
Merry Christmas every one!

Congratulations on another successful drive! Probably be better to get those checks out in Tuesday's mail tho'. PO is closed on Monday!
