The dog days of August were good to us at FeedBlitz. Active circulation grew from about 700,000 to over 822,000 at the end of the month, representing nearly 17.5% growth in just 31 days, or double July's rate. Welcome to everyone who joined last month.
All this activity was also reflected in the feedblitz.com site metrics. As I mentioned in the July summary, I expected to "crush" the July metrics in August. And so we did. The month saw 399,816 visits (up 73% from July's 230,850 value), and page views broke the one million barrier for the first time (1,025,494, up 38% from July's 743,804 total).
Last night's run was the largest ever, sending mail to over 300,000 recipients for the first time, yet performance is still good: Everything finishes by 6:30 am or so eastern, on a consistent basis. We also hired extra customer service and produce development resources to continue to power our growth as the Internet's leading RSS to email service.
Feature-wise, we introduced our new Knowledge Base to help answer common (and not-so-common) questions, fixed a few issues and continue to work on deliverability.
Why the relative quiet? We're working hard on finishing FeedBlitz 2.0
FeedBlitz 2.0 will contain important upgrades for our standard service, as well as exciting new innovations across the board. Upgrading will be seamless and automatic (except that the web site will be much, much easier to use (and, ok, you got me - a little less orange too!)). So stay tuned for more on v2 over the next few weeks.
