Simpy Hits 2 Million Members 
« Ahead of Google, del.icio.us, etc. | Main | Maintenance Tonight at 00:30 EDT »
I have a couple of great Simpy announcements to share on this lovely Sunday. I cannot hold it back any longer, so let me just get it out of my system:
- Early next week Simpy will welcome its 2 millionth member.
- The number of bookmarks stored in Simpy is growing rapidly and will cross the 250 million (yeah, quarter of a billion!) mark sometime around the middle of next week.
This is a great milestone for Simpy, especially since Simpy is only my side project. Simpy is not a full-time business with a large team and venture capitalist funding. I am extremely proud and happy to share these numbers publicly. Some have advised me to keep this a secret as long as possible, keep the low profile, but it is very had keeping this locked inside, even if it makes business sense. I hope these numbers will encourage all the dreamy entrepreneurs out there - it is possible to run a Web 2.0 service cheaply and still make it huge without taking outside funding. I will write an essay about what it takes to accomplish this and publish it on this blog.
To all the Simpy members out there - thank you, thank you, thank you!
