From Tweet to Mashable to the Lab We Go

December 23, 2008

One day after Mashabe did a spontaneous review of Samepoint.com, I decided to see what the effect was overall. Here is what I found.

1) Approx 10 more entries in Bloglines

2) 1 new entry in blogsearch.google.com ( Weird since there were multiple blogs that wrote about us) Next test: Test Google Blog Search.

3) Approx 10-15 Different Site write ups ( Thank you)

4) 4 Extra folks following us on twitter. (And we are now following you.)

5) 15% Traffic Spike

6) Some cool kudos on twitter. ( Thank you)

7) Some cool folks marking us in delicious. ( Thank you)

8) Quite a few Google alerts following “Samepoint.com”

Now, this is most appreciated. Just think if we received a very favorable review? I think Mashable does have a positive effect on a new web site’s presence. I would suggest however, try not to get on their radar too early. We did, and took some good criticism on our UI, which the front end peeps are diligently fixing as I type.

I don’t know about you, but to have Mashabe to do a Usability test in or Beta stage is gold to us. We thank them for the once over. Back to the lab we go. I hope that they find it in their big hearts to look at us again in the near future.

And to think, it all started from a tweet showing how many Social Mentions we had in our index of Mashable.

Stay Tuned .. More to Come.
