Random Stats From Last Week
My new portfolio seems to have sparked some interest. Personally, I think it was the color palette.
Anyways, here are some stats for those interested in numbers and math and the probability of you hiring me at $15/hour, and other crap.
- + Just over 130,000 hits to the portfolio
- + Just over 1500 new followers on Twitter
- + @keeg was the first person to Retweet it
- + Within 2 hours of my posting it on Twitter, it had already received over 8,000 hits
- + Of those 130,000, Reddit sent the most, 22,000 in a two hour time span
- + 2 BIG companies came knocking (more on that later)
- + Firefox and Safari made up 80% of the visitors
- + Windows was 53% to 36% from Mac OS X
- + Someone tried a dictionary attack (of sorts) on my site; and actually found a few other directories
- + Over 1,000 links came in from other sites
- + Peter Bowden didn’t believe that I made Jeremy Cowart’s blog to which Jeremy corrected him
- + Most interesting Tweet came from Tom Whitwell of Time Online announcing me as his new CTO.
All in all, it was a wild ride. I know I had fun, I just hope I put out enough to warrant a second date.
