Welcome

This is my personal & professional blog.  It's a place for me to think out loud and learn. I'll sometimes talk about things I don't understand as a way to begin to understand them. I'll often be wrong, short sighted, and unclear. When you see this happening, please point it out!

Evite.com is growing?

In my spare time, I like to go to Compete.com and look up traffic patterns on random websites.  I spend more time doing this than you can imagine.  And I love it. 

I've clearly missed my calling as a quant guy on Wall Street.  Or simply counting and stacking small bills at a Bank of America banking center.

Anyhoo, here's my latest discovery: Evite traffic is up 41% over the last year.  Evite!  Can you believe it?

I'm surprised because Evite is now 10 years old!  It's a battle-scarred veteran of the first dot com bust and is continuing to grow and thrive 40% year over year today. 

I'm dying to know what features besides mobile integration they've added in the last 5 years.  The site looks the same as it always has.  Perhaps IAC is much more brilliant than I give them credit for or perhaps even they couldn't mess this one up.

 

More stats about Evite from here:

What I'd like you to compare this number to is the increase in Internet usage among citizens this year... figure out the internet traffic supply inflation rate.

Still, 40% is a nice jump.

I still hate evite.

Gruen, of course you're right. Comparing the 41% site growth to the growth in internet audience would be more enlightening. I think it's a safe bet that the number of people on the World Wide Web didn't grow by 41% this year though.

You're setting a high bar for my blogging though; I like it.
