I have a tendency to browse through random blogs, looking for weird and interesting stuff but I can safely say that I rarely come across a blog that has huge readership, evidenced by hundreds of comments.
One that I came across earlier this week is New York Hack, a blog about a taxi driver in NYC who documents his days and takes snaps on his camera as he goes along.
One of his posts has a whopping 426 comments. Amazing.
He is pretty choice in his language though and doesn't hold back, so don't click if you are offended by swearing, more swearing and some pretty brash NY dialogue. Nothing you won't have heard if you watched Goodfellas though.
You'll see if you take a look at this blog that he has been offered a publishing deal. What an incredible story. The publisher in question is being pretty smart here, picking up on the obvious high levels of readship. If 426 people bothered to comment on one of his postings then how many just read it and moved on.
I know that most bloggers, me included, don't worry about who is reading their blog but you have to admit that this is really some impressive readership.
Sorry if this content offends you - but it does give you a pretty good sense of what life as a NYC taxi driver is like these days.

That is indeed pretty impressive. But with content this abrasive, it's not surprising that so many would want to have their voices heard.
I'm not one who would appreciate that kind of language, but I'm sure a lot of people can really connect with it.
Hope you have a happy Easter!
