We have made public our annual WordPress year in review.
2013 WordPres Phi Beta Iota Year in Review
Kudos to Owl — one of over 25 contributing editors — for the top post. We are well over 1,200,000,000 total visitors, and with over 11,000 subscribers receiving every post via email digest, appear to be comfortably established as a reliable source of public interest information.
Of particular note is the sites value as a permanent reference source. Roughly three quarters of our daily visitors are connecting to past posts, some dated 20 years back. As this site contains contributions from over 800 authorities on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), public intelligence (decision-support), and all-source intelligence reform, it is less of a Blog and more of a constantly updated archive.
We have stopped doing RECAPs. Instead we have shifted to @ Phi Beta Iota. WordPress search works well with simple terms.
We salute our kindred spirit, Federation of American Scientists, for whom we gladly provide a constantly updated catalog of Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports.
