I promised myself when we started this site that there wouldn't be any self-referencing posts like this one, so call me a hypocrite if you want. For the rest of you - here's the roundup for the first month of BlueSunCorp!

This month we've had 48,469 visits from 44,677 unique users. That averages at about 1600 visits per day, and that's even counting the slow period when we first began.

Things really started to pick up around mid November.

Favourite Moments

  • Getting the first $0.37 for Google Adsense - And not really getting much more. Heh.
  • Having the database down when StumbleUpon thought it would be funny to send 500 simultaneous users. - Very funny, whoever did that one. Hahahaha. I'm laughing. ;)
  • Being criticised and voted down on Reddit - One day, one day we'll gain their respect.
  • Observing the Stumble effect - It's impossible to gauge the sheer power of Stumbeupon, until it actually happens to you.
  • Being linked to - Mainly for the SF article, but it's all good.

Thanks!
