And I'm glad you like some of the video content. We're exactly the same age, but I just can't find the passion for gaming as you have. I bought my 7 year old son a Nintendo Wii for his birthday and I just cant get my head around it! He on the other hand has become an expert. Keep in touch. I'll see you at Blogworld next year.

I'm still going to install it though as I want to see just how OTT it is!

Totally agree about compete though - I can vouch, for example, that the US stats for edublogs.org on compete are pretty much accurate. General stats is completely OTT :)

I just wonder how reliable Compete would be in Australia (for sites targeting Australia), given they get their information from US ISPs? It would certainly be good to see a similar (free) service here. Hi Simon
