Crossing 900,000 Downloads - A Look At BlueOrganizer and SmartLinks Usage

by Alex on September 5, 2007 · 8 comments

Today we had 900,000th download of the BlueOrganizer! Just another 100K to go before 1M downloads. According to Ryan at CyberNet, there are 400M downloads of Firefox so we have a room to grow ;)

Actually, despite August being traditionally slow month, there was a nice growth for us:

Compare to just a month ago, we had 75,000 people who logged in within last month. Now it is more than 95,000 - over 25% increase. Our site visits are also up from last month, with close to 140,000 unique visitors (maybe we should start putting Google Ads on the site? Hmm…).

We also can share with you that there are now over 125 blogs that have SmartLinks and SmartLink Feeds installed. There are also over 500 installs of our SmartLink Badges via Widgetbox. Overall, the usage of SmartLinks is ramping up and we are getting a lot of great feedback from the users.

We are very excited to get with these numbers into September, particularly because we have a very cool pipeline for you.

  • The SmartLink Web Service, which will help you setup SmartLinks on your blog automagically, is scheduled for QA by the end of this week.
  • We are finalizing the details of BlueOrganizer Indigo - the next version of the BlueOrganizer - slimmer, smarter and SmartLinks aware is what you can expect.
  • There will be improvements in SmartLink Feeds, both look and layout.
  • And there is another exciting thing that we’ve been working on that we can not yet share with you. We have to keep it under the radar for now, but as soon as we can, we will show you a sneak preview.

Thanks for using our technologies, we look forward to an exciting Fall season! And as always, please send us your feedback.

Congratulations! Your product is really taking off and it’s not hard to see why. I love using the BlueOrganizer and have started integrating SmartLinks into my blog. Keep up the good work.

Cool hockey stick. What caused the inflection point?

Hi Andrew,

It appears to coincide with BlueOrganizer Denim and SmartLinks release.

Awesome news! Do you track # of bluemarks? It would be interesting to see that mapped against # of users logged in.

Hey Fraser,

Actually total number of BlueMarks is a bit tricky, because the S3 tool that we are using breaks when we try to count all now. It is many millions for sure, we had 3 million a while ago. We will look into other tools that would let us get the total.
