Today is the one month birthday of eHub. I started blogging here at emilychang.com on September 3. A week later, I made eHub as a resource to keep up with the rapid-fire development of new web apps, services, and social trends that I had already been following with a keen eye. I’ll post thoughts about the social and conceptual implications of this month’s growth, but for the moment, I’d like to share some quantitative data.<\/p>\n
I launched eHub<\/a> with 64 resources listed and in the last month, the number has grown to 241. I’ve received over 250 submissions and am still parsing through the queue and adding each day (in addition to other additions found through search, bookmarking sites, RSS and blogs). For eHub Interviews<\/a>, which launched on October 5, Max and I received an amazing positive response rate of 75% from creators of Web 2.0 applications, services, and concepts. In the last week, 10 interviews have gone live and more than 40 more will be released in the next several months, and continuing steadily thereafter.<\/p>\n When I started emilychang.com<\/a>, my Technorati rank was the default 771,696 (0 links from 0 sites). A month later, my site ranks 2,093 (633 links from 355 sites). See below for the actual numbers and dates.<\/p>\n Technorati Rank for emilychang.com:<\/strong> Technorati Blog Search:<\/strong> #2 in blogs > ruby (Sam Ruby is #1!) eHub RSS feed traffic:<\/strong> eHub and the social web:<\/strong> 568 diggs at digg.com Ranked web:<\/strong> It’s been quite a month, to say the least. A blog’s success or the power of an idea can hardly be measured purely quantitatively, but what these numbers demonstrate is the true power of the viral, social, and networked web from a creator\/blogger’s perspective. Congratulations!\u00a0 Those are some impressive figures and I am really glad that you published them and shared them with your readers.\u00a0 It is fascinating to see how rapidly your blog \/ resource center took off.\u00a0 That is fantastic and you have done an excellent job and definitely filled a void at the right time.\u00a0 Keep up the good work!\u00a0 Mike<\/li>\n I\u2019m sure others have bookmarked your other pages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is the one month birthday of eHub.
