“Le Blog d’Elio… does it really work?” is the question we often get from journalists and bloggers. Well, nine months after the official launch, the first figures are quite positive: about 60.000 unique visitors, 167.000 visits, 150 posts and 2.500 comments published, which means an average of 17 comments per post. Which also means this blog is a real conversation starter between Elio and the visitors.
