Yesterday this website received over 1600 unique visits. The lion share were for the page of Overused Science Fiction Cliches. Looking through my logs, I find that most of these are coming in through Stumbleupon.com. This is a web application where users recommend other users. Evidently, the cliche list is popular there.
One bad thing is that the stumbleuponers don’t visit any of my other interesting web pages. They just look and stumble on the to the next page. It would be nice if they hung around. I changed the cliche page and out some of my more interesting links near the top so maybe they could try those pages, too.
I need graphics of classic SF cliches to snaz up the site. It is practically all text right now.

Keith,
I actually did read your top ten list of things that SF gets wrong. I can’t say I agreed with all of them, but I found them interesting.
