With the spirit of everyone analyzing Barack Obama’s first 100 days I too would like to do a little analyzing of the Barack Obama Countdown widget’s first 100 days.

So It’s been 100 days since the widget had gone live and we have seen the following numbers

  • 1,864,904 Views, the widget is getting an average of 30,000 views a day!
  • 487,423 Unique Visitors
  • 57,832 Installs
  • Oh yeah… we are now at ObamaCountdownWidget.com too!

I sort of like this graph since it’s AT&T’ish. I can now say we’ve got bars in more places!  This graph show the number of unique visitors by month.  100 Days

So, how many days are left?

Seven Things – Tagged by Joe LeBlanc

So this Seven things chain has been going around the web lately and I have finally been tagged. I was tagged by the Joomla! god who keeps all those planes in the air with his sophisticated software algorithms.

Seven things about me you may or may not know;

  1. I used to swim competitively – I swam competitively for about 13 or 14 years. YMCA swim team (Auburn Stingrays), 4yrs of High School (Auburn High School), and 1 yr of College (SUNY Morrisville). I was a distance swimmer. I once was ranked 18th in Section III (NYS) in the 500 freestyle (20 laps). Our High school team was ranked in the top 5 in New York State. My freshmen year we where ranked 1st.
  2. I am/was a Band Geek – I did high school marking band for 5 years (Maroon Vanguard) and 2 years of Drum Corps (Junior Corps DCI Rochester Patriots).
  3. I hate watching fake TV, I prefer documentaries or non-fiction stories – Really I love discovery channel and the science channel or TLC.  Anything that’s real.  “How They Do That”, “Dirty Jobs”, and reality TV are my favorites.
  4. I am the only one in DC that voted for John McCain – Something like 93% of DC voted for Barack Obama. I guess they will see they were wrong sooner or later :-)
  5. I didn’t understand Object Oriented Programing (OOP) until my first job – It’s true! I understand it now though!
  6. I wear a suit to work everyday and I am a PHP Developer - Don’t you? I work at the Library of Congress. It looks more professional and people take me more serious. I did a little unprofessional study by myself and now i will wear a suit or tie to work everyday including Friday’s.  No JEANS ever!
  7. I grew up in Auburn, New York.  Home of the electric chair, Harriet Tubman, William Seward – dude he purchased Alaska home of Sarah Palin, Theodore Case – he put sound to video a thing now called movies, and many more. Oh yea, Auburn also has some of the only original Tiffany glass left in the world.

I guess that’s it.  Now it’s time to tag 7 more people.  Here they are,

  1. Jill Spaeth – College Roommate at Rochester Institute of Technology (@innerspaeth)
  2. Justin Thorp – Keith already tagged him but he lives two doors down so I can bug him to get it done. (@thorpus)
  3. Wes – My favorite bud in Florida.  I worked with him at SONY.  You all know how much I hate Florida but I love my Wes. (@theonlyub)
  4. John Croston – if you are a geek in DC you know him! (@jfcIII)
  5. Andrew Wirtanen – My liberal friend from RIT. (@awirtanen)
  6. Antoine Butler – Simple just a Rock Star. (@aebsr)
  7. I’m going out on a limb and going to pick a the smartest business guy on the web – Jason Calacanis (@JasonCalacanis)

The rules:
1. Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
