Summary: Even though we barely write about Gemini anymore the universe or cyberspace of Gemini Protocol continues to expand while Gemini capsules talk about all sorts of topics other than Gemini itself

EARLIER this month we noted that 400 more Gemini capsules had been registered in just 2.5 months by Lupa, the crawler.



As noted in the above video, our presence in Gemini is becoming more solid and the mirroring of our articles there is now 100% automated (and robust too, we used to require the occasional manual intervention).

The month ends in a couple of hours, so here are the number of requests registered by date for gemini:// alone:

The nice thing about today's Geminispace is that it's no longer about Gemini itself (or Gemini Protocol) but about all sorts of topics. In the past month we've included hundreds of links to many Gemini capsules. Gemini is here to stay.
