January was our best month on record for participation, traffic and just about any other metric. Here are some stats:


  • 12,309 comments left on posts
  • 36,407 votes for videos cast
  • 4,853 Videos posted to VideoSift
  • 1,402 Videos published to front page
  • 600,000+ unique visits

    Yay for us. Don't forget to pencil in February 17th for our 1 year siftiversary. There is going to be a slew of new features and a marathon chat session.

    "4,853 Videos posted to VideoSift
    1,402 Videos published to front page "

    For a bit more statistical fun, that averages out to 156.54 videos posted per day, with a front page graduation rate of about 29%.

    It would be interesting to know age stats. I know we did an informal one of the "die-hards" not long ago.

    the "marathon chat session" will mostly likely just be hosted on gabbly, we will put up some details a couple of days before the seventeenth though.

    Well they can't as votes in your stats, and a quarter of all sifts getting published means you can't complain.

    BTW, I want to see this vid!

    I'm planning to make a big post on midnight of the 27th Sydney Time. I'll look for a countdown clock.

    Ha, good point LadyBug.

    Sydney = GMT+10
    England = GMT (duh)
    East Coast = GMT-5
    West Coast = GMT-8

    Therefore, at 0000 hours on the 17th February in Sydney, the time will be:

    1400 hours on the 16th in England (GMT)
    0900 hours on the 16th in America on the East Coast (EST)
    0600 hours on the 16th in America on the West Coast (PST)

    Sorry if i get it wrong, i'm tired right now.
