As is customary and traditional, we celebrate every new 1,000 members here and share the traffic stats. This time it's 21,000!

@chris was wondering if this had to do with quite a bit of media coverage we got in the past couple of months :) starting from maker guide to tv coverage of folks including you and drone journalism

Anish: Yes, we do see spikes with press coverage. But what's more gratifying in engagement and the range of quality contributions from the community members, which is ultimately the most sustainable growth.

Ellison: it's amusing how random the data on those sites are. We actually get an average of 14,000 visitors (11,000 unique visitors) per day, not 979 as that site estimated. Google Adsense revenues are about $1,000 a month, not $29 (we try to put all of that back into hosting costs, T3 prizes, free stuff for students, etc). And so on...

Chris, looks like a case of stale data. (102 days old)
Good to know I'm worth more than $1.13. ;-)

Ellison: I can assure you that data was as wrong 102 days ago as it is now ;-)
