SendAlong got picked up
Today was a very exciting day for SendAlong – it’s release was picked up by several sites (mostly the US and parts of Europe). I was absolutely blown away this morning when I checked the system and saw the number of sign ups – let’s just say it was a bit more than I expected! If you’re interested, I posted about some of the reviews on SendAlong’s blog.
The bad news is that I might have to purchase a paid plan for CrazyEgg.com – I’ve been using the Free plan which records up to 5,000 visits per month. SendAlong’s gone through that many visitors since Monday alone! That means CrazyEgg has stopped recording statistics for me for the time being. The month rollover will happen on Saturday, so I think I’ll stick it out on the Free plan for a bit more, but CrazyEgg is definitely a service I can’t live with out, so I’ll probably wind up upgrading (no, they’re not paying me for saying that!).
I can’t describe how hard it was to make myself *not* check my email throughout the day as I worked. Talk about an exercise in self control:).
Ok, back to work. Looks like it might be a late night.
One more thing worth noting – I actually just pushed a new version out to the servers. Mainly just some UI tweaks and small bug fixes. Let me know if you like the new tour page and home page better. And if you haven’t signed up for a free account yet to try it out, you really should:).

Awesome news Jon. Wow. Over 5000 visitors. That’s pretty impressive and you haven’t even started your marketing yet. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chris! I was looking at CrazyEgg again and I think that to them, “visit” means “click”. So I think 5,000 visits actually means something like 5,000 clicks (although I’m not positive of this).
In any event, the 5,000 whatevers still got maxed out pretty fast!
