I have the benefit of seeing content ahead of time. Sometimes, I’m good at predicting at what will be popular, and sometimes, I’m surprised. July was no exception.

From previous stats, I know that posts related to paperless perform well, as do posts related to gadgets. So it isn’t surprising to me to find Heidi Alexander’s Apple Watch post make the list, or a book excerpt on how to define goals for going paperless. Security continues to be a hot topic, so it makes sense to see an excerpt related to a quick start action plan on the list, or how to avoid personal damage from a data breach. While that may be little comfort given the recent news that the IRS data breach is larger than first reported, it’s still good to know. Remember our data is stored in all kinds of places, so doing what you can to protect yourself remains key.
There are some surprises on this list; Client Relationship Management (CRM) is an issue for any business, but given the many options for practice management that include a CRM component, I wasn’t sure there would be a tightly focused interest on it. Makes me think that either CRM is handled poorly by applications currently on the market, or there is such nuance to doing it well that a separate application is needed. Will be interesting to see how practice management and CRM continue to develop.
