I DON'T fancy celebrating instead of focusing on further publication (there's lots going on at the EPO this week), but later today I'll have posted 700,000 tweets. The 700,000^th will probably be posted some time in the evening. More importantly, however, today is our thirteenth anniversary and the number isn't particularly special (like ten or fifteen). It's safe to say that we're stable enough to reach fifteen and still be active every day. Twenty years? Too far to tell... that's 7 years from now. Now, at age 13, this sites serves at a pace of about quarter billion hits per year. Tux Machines is the same. We might not seem big, but we have broad reach and it improves over time. Our main IRC channel, #techrights, regularly has 55-70 members online. Some lurk, some talk, and there's more going on behind the scenes (we try to shed light on that in order to discourage unnecessary suspicion or false rumours). ⬆
