Best of Innovative Interactivity, 2009

This post is also available in Spanish

II had an exceptional year thanks to all of its loyal followers. Every time you comment, bookmark, retweet, or otherwise promote a post, it makes my heart a little happier. So thanks for making me a happy girl!

The major highlight from 2009 was welcoming Andrea Ballocchi as Spanish Editor, who works hard behind the scenes translating each and every post and comment by hand so our Hispanic audience can feel more welcome. The major downside from 2009 was accidentally overwriting my database and frantically reaching out to my tech gurus to revive II. Alas, we are steadily growing and covering a wider variety of multimedia, and for that I am thankful.

It has been exciting conversing with each of you throughout the year. Please always feel free to contact me with questions, comments, and/or ideas. I am always happy to meet passionate individuals, so let’s chat!

According to site traffic, II saw nearly 100,000 pageviews this past year from 159 countries. While our biggest audience is in the U.S, thousands of visitors show us love from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, India, Brazil and Portugal. Furthermore, since we added Spanish content, traffic has exponentially increased from Chile, Argentina and Spain. Welcome everyone!

With more than 200 posts in 2009, I think it’s fair to say that we had a busy year. Here are the posts that you all enjoyed the most, as seen by traffic to the page.
