The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Blog, which was created in 2008, has served as a means for exchanging information between the research community and funding agencies. It has provided an immediate online mechanism for community-wide dissemination, discussion, and debate of visioning concepts. Today, we are proud to announce that the blog has reached over 300,000 views! 
Much of the blog’s success is due to the dedication of Erwin Gianchandani. When Erwin became Director of the Computing Community Consortium in April of 2010; the blog averaged 83 hits per day, when Erwin departed last month, the blog averaged 571 hits per day – an increase of over 500%.
