A calm before the next storm, a few Skimmer fun facts
Picture by @shreshta
It’s been an entire day since Fallon unleashed Skimmer on the world, and some of the nerds are still recovering. As you can see it was a long, long process. I asked Mike Woods, who led our team of nerds on this project for a few numbers regarding Skimmer.
While I’m not sure if I’m at liberty to release official download numbers, I will tell you that there were thousands and thousands of people who registered yesterday and that on average each Skimmer user registered more than two service accounts (like Twitter, Facebook, etc.), and every user avergaed at least one friend using Skimmer (cute!).
What I can tell you is this:
Beers had in celebration of launch = 24 + two bottles of champagne
Hours spent in meetings = ~400
Number of curse words uttered during testing = Woods stopped counting at 1,000
Hours of sleep lost to project = 800
Woods also said Brenda Fogg had the honor of submitting Trac bug ticket #500 the night of launch.
As you can see by the picture above The Nerdery never sleeps. Tomorrow we’ll tell you all about an another amazing project we completed with one of our agency partners. Trust me on this one, it’s pretty cool.
