I sometimes wonder who’s out there reading this blog. I’m getting to know a few of you in the comments and email exchanges but the vast majority of you are silent lurkers who I only know are out there via analytics, backtweets, and my Feedburner subscriber count.
In the interests of getting to know my readers a bit, why not add me as a friend on Linkedin?

Consider it done. I also think we may have had a couple of quick exchanges at dConstruct over the past couple of years — I’ve attended the last three.
I mostly enjoy your shared items in Google Reader though. Always good stuff

Hi there,
I’m from New Zealand, working on IntuitionHQ.com (a usability testing service) – I’m very interested in usability testing, and user experience design. I’ve recently begun doing a little writing on these topics as well; one article was recently featured on UXBooth.com, and there will be a few more going up around the place in the coming months.
It’s always interesting following your posts, and I stumbled across the site through alltop.com and their user-interface section.
I do have linkedin (not that I use it much!) and I’ve just added you now.
Cheers, and keep up the good work.

I’m definitely one of the lurkers, mostly because this isn’t really my area of expertise; I’m a safety engineer at a big energy company working within Human Factor Engineering.
Since Usability and GUI makes a big difference here as well I try to keep up to date what’s happening, thanks for sharing!
I tried to add you. I chose the only correct option “I don’t know Harry”, pressed “send invitation” and… sure, it told me that they value our privacy and suggested to return to the profile OR cancel. Holy cow! ]:->

another lurker here, i’m a freelance technical creative director, and tend to read via google reader rather than the website, so don’t generally comment so much.

Hey Harry, another recently new lurker on your blog. I’m an Interaction Designer in Reading.
Hi Harry,
I’ve added you too. I’m a senior web designer from the Uk and come here daily to grab UX hints. Love the blog!
Another lurker that you’ve managed to pull out of the shadows. I guess this is my chance to say thank you for the site! I’m currently a user experience specialist in Tennessee and I just finished up with my masters degree in HCI. I’m a RSS follower and find your articles a great way to keep up with what’s going on in the field.
I think there’s a threshold where you get a certain number of commenters and more people just give up on comments.
As for me; I just never feel I can contribute anything.
I’m always watching you, Brignull.
I really must get some new curtains!
