April came and went, how did we do? 900,000 increase

Obviously, April is a day shorter than March...even so, we managed a 900,000 visitor increase as compared to our prior month.

On a daily adjusted basis, that's the *second* month in a row where we grew by a million visitors...wow. Simply put, wow.

Our run rate (if we can pull a few more rabbits out of a hat) will push us past a few various sites to become the fourth largest Q&A site in the United States, behind Yahoo Answers, ANSW corp and Demand Media (owners of the 3rd largest).

With the smallest of these three 10 million visitors per month (their blog post, a few months ago) we're now very close to 50% the size of the 4th largest Q&A service...which is simply awesome.

Thing is though...even with all this growth, I'm not, personally, thrilled. The product we have in mind...simply hasn't arrived yet. It's being developed (sometimes, painfully, as releases don't always go smoothly) but for the first time in more than six years, I can truthfully say we know what components we are bringing together into our site, features and functionalities...time will tell if we're right.

And in the meantime, I'm incredibly happy so many people have been using (with increasing delight and frequency) our 'product in progress', as you might call it.

Very few sites of our size have a president & co-founder who is delighted to help you make the most of your experience on our site, who doesn't hide in an 'ivory tower' and who uses the product daily.

So thanks for the massive vote of confidence in our site, our service and our unfolding vision, drop me a note via fun mail or the contact form if you need help. I'll be happy to assist.
