My Online Audience

My online audience is mainly on Facebook, where I currently have around 240 friends. I engage with them by liking some of their posts, commenting from time to time, and exchanging private messages. As Facebook allows me to see which messages have been seen by the relevant users, it is a useful way to track the communication, especially in group conversations. I also have an academic audience, as I have recently found out that a journal that published my article presents a list of “the most read” articles. The ranking is calculated at the beginning of the month and is based on full-text and pdf views. While I do not know how many users viewed my article and who they are, I can see how “popular” it is. The article still appears on this list. In addition, I have a small audience here, and the blog allows me to monitor how many users have seen my post :)
