Some Co-op Stats

So, we’re gonna open up the inner workings of Co-op: share some numbers, talk about how we’re developing the product, post some sketches from the office, etc.  And if you have any questions about Co-op or how we work in general, feel free to ask.

Now, some stats.  Since Co-op launched on last Monday (Oct 20), our marketing site (not including the traffic from the actual usage of Co-op, which we just started tracking…) has gotten a total of 17,381 visits.  Some observations on where the traffic has come from:

• 10% of it came from LifeHacker (our #1 referrer), and that led to Co-op being on delicious popular (our #3 referrer).
• Twitter accounted for 2.40% of the traffic, which is significant, and surprising.  When we launched Harvest some three years ago, there was no Twitter (how did we survive then!?).
• Some people found us via Google: 6 visits came from people looking for Yammer (you should read this article comparing them with Co-op).

In Co-op, so far we have 4500 users, 2418 groups, and 12415 notes.

And how long did it take for us to build Co-op?  About 390 hours (according to Harvest) and since we launched, we’ve spent about 74 hours improving it (we’ll talk about some of the new features here, soon).
