As bloggers, are we past the point of caring about eyeballs?
Yes. I never check my Technorati stats, SiteMeter, or Ecosystem ranking anymore.

Most of us are; the ones who still care are the ones who are trying to make money from blogging.

Not so fast...I still check my stats every couple of weeks or so.

I'm mostly past the point of caring, but I obviously want to be read and linked by a lot of people.

No, I still check every day or two to see how many people are linking to me, page views, visits, hits, etc.

I only check my Statcounter
I only check my Statcounter stats (how many people are reading) once every few months, because those don't tell me much on a day-to-day basis (I like checking out the monthly/yearly trends once in a while. Pretty graphs!). I do check technorati more frequently because I like to see who's linking to specific posts - I'm more interested in seeing where a given post ends up than numbers per se. It's more about who's linking than how many. (Ecosystem I check maybe once every six months - I find that pretty meaningless.)
I check often
But like New Kid, it's mostly Stat Counter with an occasional glance at Technorati. Like her, I'm often interested in what posts are getting picked up and by whom.
