I’m a geek, you’re a geek, we’re all geeks.
And here at wereallgeeks we post about geek stuff.
Something interesting is to watch what is going on with our site – stats help us understanding what’s interesting. Where the readers are from, what they like, what happens in geek world… Geek trends are always in flux, and following this flux is interesting; we figured it might be worth sharing about it.
In the initial days of the site, the most popular articles were about videogames and arcades – one of the most viewed article was the evolution of the joystick, which still has regular readers nowadays.
In the last few years interest shifted to home automation, with many about the various projects – something we are proud of, as publishing these projects to help fellow geeks is something of importance on wereallgeeks. the most popular article was about installing Home Assistant on and old pi.
The focus on videogames and retrogaming was always present, but more emphasis on retrocomputing was made in 2023 while we prepare the construction of a brand new commodore 64.
A very popular article was published in April about what it takes in 2023 to build a commodore 64 computer. Lately, this article took first place in our popularity ranking, becoming the most accessed article of the last 365 days!
The other topics such as retro gaming, home automation, DIY electronics, computers and technologies, are still attracting a vast amount of attention, and the formerly first place articles are still being read regularly, but the interest in retro computing is real and is there.
This is interesting – Home Automation and videogames are actual technology topics, while retrocomputing is technology from years ago; yet articles about retrocomputing are favorites in 2023-2024. That’s an interesting trend.
Always in flux is the world of the geeks. Who knows what will become the next most interesting topic?
Keep on geeking!!
We are All Geeks!
