How does that happen?

August 23rd i work up with a question on the about page of this site from Sarah Perez. Sarah wanted to know my name, i hesitantly answered, however I’m glad I did. Sarah turned out to be the writer from TechCrunch who decided to write about my application. I still have no idea how Sarah found out about the application. If you’re out there Sarah, tell us!

I had launched this application a few times, the first time I launched the application it was fairly quickly banned by Facebook. After a few changes, i re-launched it. Again Facebook decided they didn’t like it, but not before TechCrunch decided they liked it.

What happens when it happens?

Again a very simple answer: Your servers get pounded. Imagine the fattest person you know, having intercourse with the skinniest person you know. Its that kind of situation…

As you can see things were going well for me (The red line indicates total # of users). This is a graph i generated daily showing the usage stats of the application. The massive spike at the end, thats what happens when TechCrunch decides to feature you.
