I actually have not check this view on my Google Analytics since maybe December, usually I only check the rolling 30-day statistics to see how well my Courselect project is doing. Here is a chart of absolute unique visitors since September 4, 2008 (the inception of the website) up until May 31, 2009.

I am actually really happy to see that the website is getting popular within the school population and no one will ever have to go through the same course look-up hell I went through.

In the last 8 months and a little bit, I went from a hacked up prototype interface through a few revisions to the UI into what is now a recognized self-sustaining website. Of course, I would not have been able to do this without the feedback I’ve had from all of you who read my blog and tried it out as well as the students who left feedback on getsatisfaction or email. I also saw a huge trend from searches of upper year courses down into lower year courses and into subjects other than engineering courses.

Why am I posting this? I just thought it’s friggin crazy manng. Look at the slope on that line!*

Also crazy enough, my original system architecture is still holding up well against the load increase and I haven’t had to make any drastic changes to how any of the component operates or how the data caches work. Crazyness!
