The Idea Thunderdome 2.0

The hits just keep on coming

September 22nd, 2006

The Idea Thunderdome is a bulging vein on the forehead of entrepreneurship. Until today I thought that besides me and Gus (and a few relatives), there really wasn’t all that much interest in the dome. I mean, think about it, I always look at the bottom right hand corner and see our feedburner readers dip to as low as 4 and soar to as high as a whopping 13.

Then again…I just looked at this website’s stats (which is a subdivision of my outdated, paltry joke of a personal site stanhansen.biz) and the stats are growing man… and on your last post we spiked above 100 hits in a day for the first time in existance in the dome. Our visitor growth has been growing steady over the last few months, and if this month’s success continues, it will be another record breaker (the third in a row). In fact at this time last year we spiked at 20 visitors in a day that is a 500% one year growth. Okay so that is extremely shaky math and logic, but you get the point.

The army is growing…I even made an excel graph that shows our growth since June (not sure why it took off in June?)

PS, figured out tonight that I work literally a block and a half away from the hottest “web2.0″ company in Chicago (and some might say the country). I had no idea. I am going to stalk them on Monday (and reveal who I speak of) and post it here. And the funny thing is, I work in a VERY industrial area of chicago. It reaks of sulfer and reminds me of “Paper Street” in fight club. I thought a hot web2.0 company would have some fancy high rise downtown, or at least near downtown, or in some trendy little neighborhood with hipster shops on every corner. I practically walk by their offices every day (I think I even parked in front of them once even). Stay tuned ‘domers.
