繼續分析….
一年的traffic source：
direct大概就是有bookmark這個website的直接access
google應該是search keyword進來的
formosamba.com是之前常回答mba問題的網站, 我應該有放我的blog link.
plurk.com就是這一年最常用的SNS.. 也有放blog link.
thebesthosting.org就搞不懂了…
還在玩有facebook跟twitter, 不過twitter的follower大概都是bot, facebook可能有點機會
不過最有可能的增加hit的方法大概就是keyword search吧
Keyword:
壓倒性的都是敗家文…. 看來接下來要花錢（敗家）買hit了…
最近上班還蠻悶的， 覺得沒什麼進展。 新年新希望講過的新Hobby也是沒頭緒。既然這樣的話就強迫自己做些事吧：
目標：
年底blog月hit 超過500
這是現在的數字：
基本上今年只寫了兩篇而已， 這樣看的話還有幾十個Hits也還蠻奇怪的。 500也不知道到底是多還是少。 反正就先這樣吧！
Who would have thought I would have two iPad posts in a row… (the truth is probably I don’t update my blogs enough)
Some points from my last post:
Pros
- Plays HD
- iBookstore
- 10 hours playback time
- iPod/Touch app compatible
- 3G optional
- Bluetooth
- Instant-On
Cons
- Lack of removable media
- Lack of non-English content
After playing for my new iPad for 2 days (32G Wifi Model), it was pretty much in line of what I thought before. Video/Picture playbacks are good, especially once I got the Air Video App. It lets iPad stream videos from a desktop, so pretty much it can support most video formats. iBooks are also pretty much what I expected. The reading experience is good (especially comics). There really aren’t that many books available for purchase, but there are some other apps (Kindle, Time, etc) that let users purchase other contents, so it’s still good. Another pleasant surprise is that iPad gets 2 years of free wifi access point in Japan. So wifi model isn’t totally useless outside.
Of course things are not all good. One thing that really pisses me is that Bluetooth headset doesn’t pair with iPad. (headphone is ok I think). Really couldn’t figure out a reason why Apple doesn’t do it except to mess with people. The other thing is that I still feel some weight trying to hold it up for an extended time. Not including traditional Chinese input at the beginning is also a bit inconvenient, and moving around different applications still needs some time to get used to.
Overall I would give it 7/10. It definitely is the tablet that future ones will be measured against. Instant-on and 10 hour battery time are must. The app store already has tons of stuff to play with so people won’t get bored. Didn’t use e-ink readers, so I couldn’t compare the difference, but reading comfort is acceptable for me for an hour or two. (Did get a little tired, but not sure if it’s because of the screen or my bad posture).
Pros
Cons
Well, just by looking at the lists, it’s pretty obvious that it will be high on my shopping list, but the most important factor for me is the initial content offering iBookstore will have, and how easy it is to get it. The primary purpose I see with iPad is to replace the physical books and especially magazines. It is not a replacement of notebook or netbook for me, so multitasking isn’t really a concern for me. Lack of removable media is a little inconvenient, but with so many syncing applications, I am sure there will be some acceptable solutions. The bonus would be the different apps and videos I get to play/watch. Lack of non-English content is also another issue that probably will be resolved in time.
What I admire about Apple is the laser focus of their product. They don’t cut corners and don’t compromise. Whether the product will sell or fail is another issue, but they know what their vision is. iPad’s vision is to do what iPod did to the music industry, and what iPhone did to the mobile carriers, to the publishing industry. Same in every industries, their inertia and rigid thinking need some truly disruptive technology to force them to adapt or die. Hopefully iPad can be the catalyst.
Before that, I probably need to look back on my new year resolution for 2009 first:
2009:
Number 1 was a complete failure. I only took once-a-week Japanese lessons until February. After that, all my Japanese study came from TV programs. So I got to know a lot of comedian phrases and nothing much else.
Number 2 was a classic “be careful what you wish for” type of resolution. Simply speaking, yes, I got to do an interesting project, but it really isn’t the type of “interesting” I had hoped for.
Number 3 was acceptably achieved. The last weight-in I took before 2010 was 70-point-something, but I haven’t weighted in since then…..
So my 2010 resolutions are:
Japanese is still something I want to learn more, and level 2 is probably a realistic goal I can try to achieve this year. A new hobby is something I have been thinking and wanting to find something new this year. 6x kg is just a continuation of my previous goal.
Looking back, 2009 was kind of an adjustment year for me work-wise, family-wise, and self-wise. Let’s hope for a better and brighter 2010. (even though my first fortune slip from Asakusa temple this year was bad…)
