During Self-Love Hour here at Internet Evolution headquarters yesterday (approx. 3 p.m. ET) we were going over our site's ever-impressive registration list and grew ever-more impressed with ourselves when we found out that Internet Evolution has registered readers in practically every country on Earth.
And we're not just talking the big dogs. Germany, China, India... welcome and thrilled to see you, as always -- but we've reached corners of the world that Sarah Palin has never heard of!
OK. Maybe we should set the bar a little higher.
Anyway, we're proud to be able to spread the word about the future of the Internet to the good registered readers over in places like Kazakhstan, Lesotho, and Kiribati. We've even managed to snag a registration from the great, great, great, great, greaaaat grandson of a Bounty mutineer on the Pitcairn Islands (hello!).
And... we don't want to drop any names here, but with two readers in Vatican City, we'll just say we suspect one of these cats is a preeeety big deal. (We're talking funny hat big.)
So, yeah, we're basically a global phenomenon. But according to WorldAtlas.com, out of 194 countries in the world, we're still missing registered readers in 33 of them.
And that's not acceptable! So we're issuing a call to action for YOU to help us get readers in Bhutan, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Dijbouti, Dominica, East Timor, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras, Liechtenstein, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Micronesia, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, Samoa, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Swaziland, Togo, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu to register for Internet Evolution!
We're not content to stop until we have registered users in every country on Planet Earth, so we need your help, and we're open to suggestions as to how to get these missing links to sign up.
If we're going to have a site about the future of the Internet, we want the most widespread readership in the world to participate in the conversation. And we know you want that, too. So go out there, you virtual mercenaries! Grab your backpacks, your soapboxes, and do your part to help us get those 33 countries registered. We'll be checking our registration list this week to see what new countries you've conquered.
Next stop: Outer Space! (Though some of our ThinkerNetters may already have that covered.)
