Photojojo Reaches 10,000 Subscribers

Photojojo a featured feed on My Yahoo!Well, it turns out we did reach 8,000 subscribers 90 days after launching (more, actually) as I’d hoped. Even better, now that we’re at the 100 day mark, we’re up to 10,000 subscribers!

This is phenomenal growth, and far beyond what I could have expected.

Since my last update, we’ve hit the Del.icio.us popular list twice more, once with our Lensbaby review, and again with our fireworks photo guide. You might have also seen us on Chicagoist, in the Manhattan User’s Guide, the blogs of PCWorld and USATODAY, and as a Yahoo! Pick, a Yahoo! New and Notable Site, and a My Yahoo! featured feed. Thanks so much to everyone that’s been writing about us!

We’ve got some great tutorials from contributors coming up soon, and Angela, the Photojojo summer intern, has been working hard on some new pieces as well!

p.s. Check it out, the Impromptu Street Portraits project that Youngna wrote up for us… someone just tried it in Manila and in France!

That’s beautiful. Congratulations!

I think it’d be really cool if you posted about how you marketed the site pre-launch and after-launch (you know, riding the wave, reinforcing the “ideavirus” and all that). I would bet that it’d make it to the top of del.icio.us, too!

Hey Amit! Congratulations!! And I just figured out you went to Amherst - up in my neck of the woods by the oh-so-wonderful Bookmill. What a small world….

Thanks, Scott! It’s a good idea–I’ll try to find the time to do it!

Karina — I’m continually surprised how many cool and interesting people I run into that live in the Amherst and Northampton area. I guess I should stop being surprised! :)
