My OperaThis Is Interesting

The editor uses the Opera blog. As an attached goodie, it has the last 20 or so references to the blog. That is from what site and how "referred". In other words, if one is at site ABC and viewing a page in the blog (or any web page) renewshaw.com (utterly aside: since we're into historical stuff, shouldn't it be reOLDshaw.com?) then that information is collected by the service that Opera uses. It's not fancy. Happens all the time. If the editor wanted to pay a few bucks a month, he could see all of the collected data in databaseable form. Bigtime blogs do that.
It's sort of jarring, though, when he sees
5/26 4:47:30 PM <-- Zulu Time
Washington, District of Columbia, US <-- where visitor is (theoretically)
65.205.49.165 <-- Visitors IP Address
http://bloomingdaleneighborhood.blogspot.com <-- Where the link was hit
AL JAZEERA INTERNATIONAL <-- Who visitor is (theoretically)
bloomingdaleneighborhood.blogspot.com had a reference to these O Street photos. AL JAZEERA INTERNATIONAL clicked that link. And now the lowly little blog finds itself embroiled in the Mideast Crisis. Wow.
But the question remains: Why was AL JAZEERA INTERNATIONAL visiting http://bloomingdaleneighborhood.blogspot.com? Just asking.
