MPOW Kicks Bloglines Booty

Since the dawn of RSS time for My Place of Work, Bloglines has been a very good friend. We offer a tutorial (emphasizing that Bloglines is free! easy! web-based! etc.), but that isn’t all that’s involved.

The growth has gone from respectable to exponential. Here’s the end-of-quarter stats on MPOW Bloglines Subscribers:

9/30/04: 2400
12/31/04: 2900
3/30/05: 3600
6/30/05: 4505
9/30/05: 8025

Today: 9,598

I’m convinced the referral function within Bloglines plays an important role. When you’re compared to the New York Times or BBC News… well, life is good. We prefer to think of ourselves as slightly more reliable than the NYT (WMD in Iraq? I think not), but it’s still good company… excellent coattails for MPOW.

Mark Fletcher, wherever you are, I love you, man!
