A 6 month old site, with a team of 6, gets 16M pageviews / month.

StackOverflow.com

You may recognize the name Joel Spolsky from Joel’s popular blog JoelOnSoftware.com, books, or his column on Inc.

What you probably don’t know about Joel Spolsky is that he also helped found StackOverflow.com as an answer to Experts Exchange top rankings for most programming questions entered into Google. Stack Overflow is Yahoo Answers meets Digg for programmers. In the Google TechTalks video below, Joel talks about the genesis for StackOverflow.com and how much traction it has picked up after 6 months.

5.8M referrals per month after only 6 months is a ton of traffic and trust from Google. Kudos to Joel for identifying a niche that was wide open.

We came up with a new way to share the press release at PR Leap, we call it PRTube and it’s available for all press releases on PR Leap. Think of it as a YouTube player only instead of sharing videos it allows anyone to easily share a press release and for publishers to see where that press release was shared and how many times it was viewed.

There are few shows, if any, that I trust more than Frontline to give me the facts. You can click that link and browse through the archives of shows if you want a closer look at current events.

I highly recommend watching Bush’s War after today’s news that Obama will be sending 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan.

I had the privilege of attending a meetup at Symbolic Motors. Lisa Kennedy at Landmark Events set it all up for our group, huge thanks to her team. I took a few pictures with the iPhone while I drooled over exotic cars like the Lamborghini Reventón, Bugatti, Spyker C8, Ferraris, Bentleys and Porsches.
