Eww! Creepy!
Thu 14 Sep 2006Blog statistics can reveal some interesting things and some downright awful things.
A couple of my recent posts have been about our friend Larissa Waters who stood for the Greens in Brisbane Central against Premier Peter Beattie in last week-end’s Queensland state election. So, it is not at all surprising that over the past few days, about 15% of the hits on my blog have been from search engines, with people searching for “Larissa Waters”.
On election night, as Premier Pete gave his acceptance speech, he was joined by his family; wife Heather, twin sons Denis and Matthew and daughter Larissa. Press coverage (eg Courier-Mail and Sydney Morning Herald) included photographs of the family with their names.
Should I be creeped-out by the fact that a further 5% of this week’s hits on my blog have been from people searching for “Larissa Beattie”, the premier’s daughter?

You probably should be creeped-out, but nothing surprises me on the Internet anymore.
