Completely blown away!
photojojo has posted an entry about dumpr.net today.
Let me elaborate how my day worked out today. I woke up, dizzy and with a sore throat (damn that disease!), sat down with one eye open at the keyboard and checked statistics. I restarted my gimp-server on dumpr, and when it reloaded, there were 10-or-so requests in backlog. I was stunned! While I was trying to make some use of the other eye, gmail notifier popped up and told me there’s an email from photojojo. I checked my gmail and saw an article on dumpr.
It was like magic. Every second there was a request, I couldn’t breathe. Out of nowhere, dumpr received this mass flood of (so-far) 7,000 unique visitors. A lot of them emailed in some suggestions, bug reports and generally this-is-a-great-site kindof emails. I even got flamed, my first flame :’)
This is a very rewarding experience. I’m updating dumpr with bug fixes while traffic is still pouring in. I applied the missing upload-photo and embed-photo features, and immediately people started using them. Build it and they will come 
Tomorrow is another day at the office, and I’m hooking at refreshing my google analytics page
Cheers!
– me
