Wow, it has been one year since we thought of this whole crazy idea! Now, a year older and maybe a year wiser, where do we stand?
It was a big year for social networking, and it seemed like .coms were being snatched up for billions every day. Might have been us (but probably not) if we decided to go the route of venture funding and quitting our day jobs … but it wasn’t. We decided to keep the day jobs, have a few adventures, and even have a few kids along the way. We haven’t spent a dime on advertising and have basically been growing under the radar for the past year. Good or bad? Well, we are having fun and it plan on sticking around for a while.
In the process of “flying under the radar”, we seen traffic improve significantly every month since launch (October 2006) and are now (August 2007) just under 6,500 registered and contributing members. Those 6,500 members have contributed over 5,500 guides, shared 2,301 goals, posted 1,752 photos, created 1115 maps, and posted 923 personal best times. Not too bad, if you ask me.
So, we just wanted to say, “Thanks for your support!” We look forward to another year, and continuing to be a great resource for outdoor athletes.
Thanks,
Sean and Anne Hudson
