ShortMinds Webcomic

This week has been a great week for the site. The comic Explaining Greatness hit the front page of Reddit which led a massive flood of StumbleUpon users, which led to the comic being posted in various spots all over the intertubes. Usage went through the roof, comments went through the roof, RSS subscribers quadrupled and I learned I am a horrible speller.

I’m still interested to know if Randall ever saw the comic or responded, so if anyone knows please drop me a line.

The feedback hasn’t been negative and really hasn’t been positive. I hope I haven’t sinned against the webcomic community by doing a comic about another webcomic. I guess I will find out as the usage drops off to a normal rate after the stumbles slow down.

I’ve never been shy about posting my numbers in the past, but I want to wait and see how this all plays out before I post any numbers, otherwise I’d just be giving you the good half of the numbers. I am interested in the rate of repeat users over the coming weeks. With 96% new users and only 60% bounce, ONLY, I hope some people bookmarked the site and come back.

Cheers to everyone! Drink one for me while I’m at work.

P.S. Does anyone know why it seems that Feedburner takes forever to update a feed?
