High Definite/Reader Appreciation

Faithful readers,

If this adorable picture is enough to warm your heart this morning (seriously, how cute is that shit?) then I’m going to take advantage of your happy state to make a request. 

The High Definite has been going for about 3 months now, with viewership increasing steadily over the course of those months.  However, I’ve never really done a marketing push because I was trying to build content baby… content.  I’ve put a looootttt of shit up over the past couple of months, and I will do a proper marketing campaign once The High Definite v2 is up and running (under development/going to be awesome).  For now, I’m going to try to spread this blog like STDs…virally, son.

My birthday is this Thursday.  So…as a request to all of you that faithfully peruse the endless amounts of awesome shit I spew through this site, I’m going to ask:

If you could spread the news about this site to one person, or show some love within your gchat, facebook, twitter, whatever… I would greatly appreciate it…and me love you long…time?

That is all.

Now back to your regularly scheduled workday.

The blog fucking blew up today in views… so either you guys are talking or there are 2 of you that click this blog hundreds of times a day.  Either way, thanks for reading.

Uncomfortably long hug with inappropriate back rub,

Me

My apologies for the lack of posts yesterday.  I started a new job with a new firm so I had orientation and training and whatnot.   Things should get back on track today.

Bleacher Report just got some new funding from a bunch of rich folks, including Jacob Lodwick, the original webmaster and cofounder of College Humor.  This site’s pretty awesome if you need a new daily to check out sports-wise.  Via TechCrunch:

“Bleacher Report, a community publishing site for amateur sports writers, has raised $3.5 million in Series B funding from Hillsven Capital, Gordon Crawford, and SoftTech VC. Other participants in the round include Jacob Lodwick, founder of College Humor and Vimeo.

The extra cash should help the San Francisco-based company retain its 13 employees during a period of flattening online ad expenditures and layoffs in the startup community left and right. Bleacher Report is in a critical growth period having launched formally just this past February. Traffic has grown from 500,000 to over 2 million unique visitors in the last eight months, according to internal metrics. Co-founder David Finocchio says they’ve attracted about 7,500 writers to date, who collectively publish over 400 articles per day.”

In a totally related story, awesome blog The High Definite had its biggest traffic day ever today.  Thanks, bored worker bees.

Viewership has been growing at an awesome rate lately.  Thanks for the traffic.
