I was looking at the numbers my bloghost was providing, and I saw some strange things. I'm trying to find out how this works from my bloghost, but I'm also putting this out there, in case someone may have a clue -

Blogware (this weblog tool) is a platform that tracks RSS feeds, one of which is Newsgator - also now including FeedDemon - both are ways of viewings RSS posts.

In looking at the stats that Blogware is providing, I'm getting some awfully insane numbers:

For the month of September, so far, I show 22400 Newsgator/FeedDemon hits.  And for September 20th, as an example, I had over 800 hits from Newsgator alone.

If anyone uses Newsgator - do you know how it is used?  Do you know in what possible scenario one gets "automatic" or script-based hits via a Newsgator or FeedDemon site?  The numbers I am getting for September total are something like 36,000 xml requests (4 times the amount of html requests), and this is probably 80 to 90 percent too large. 

Who and what utilizes automated newgator/feedDemon scripts?

Thanks in advance.

I'm still attempting to digest Integral Methodological Pluralism. 

I do notice a curious thing about one of the more complete diagrams.

There are three different poles, or opposites here -

the I/WE
the Interior/Exterior
The Subjective/Objective (IN the circle or  OUT of the circle).  This would clearly be better a three-dimesional image, I think.

Forgive me for being stupid, but does it seem to anyone else that the Interior/Exterior shades over a bit into the Subjective/Objective?

In the Integral Spirituality paper, K.W.  talks about the simple experience of the "I". 

The "objective" study of the Interior I, Wilber relates to structuralism.

However, from the Wikipedia, here's a quote about structuralism.

This approach focused on examining how the elements of language related to each other in the present, that is, 'synchronically' rather than 'diachronically'. Finally, he argued that linguistic signs were composed of two parts, a signifier (the sound pattern of a word, either in mental projection - as when we silently recite lines from a poem to ourselves - or in actual, physical realization as part of a speech act) and a signified (the concept or meaning of the word).

The article goes on to describe structuralism in anthropology - which is definitely a "we" mode of investigation - so this is definitely out.

At any rate, it doesn't seem to me that the modes of investigation - on of the 8 possibilities of the three poles - are as clear-cut.

However, structuralism in philosophy does seem to be what Wilber is speaking of:

Structuralism rejected the concept of human freedom and choice and focused instead on the way that human behavior is determined by various structures

At any rate, I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts.  Is there really some sort of sharp dividing line between Interior-Exterior, and Objective-Subjective?
