The growth here is accelerating. We're now adding 1,000 members every 8 weeks and hit 11,000 today. On an average day, this site does between 25,000 and 30,000 page views. We're closing in on 1 million page views per month.
I had lunch today with the executive team of Ning, the social networking platform we're based on. Features coming out over the next several weeks include:
- WordPress-style blogs. Much better authoring tools and design flexibility in the blogs, and across all text entry areas.
- Badges and better community feedback options for content. Thumbs up/thumbs down rankings, and the ability for community stars to emerge and get recognition. "N00b Ninjas" FTW!
- More design flexibility. The fixed-width columns and fixed-width overall site will soon be a thing of the past.
- Improved Leaderboards. We'll be able to get much more granularity in figuring out what and who is popular here, so the moderators can spot and reward great contributors more easily.

Still a ways to go before I buy my first auto pilot system, but I can't help but think it's going
to happen much sooner than later, because of what I've managed to learn here.
Anyway, thanks for a second homepage after Google, Chris!
