Probably, someone remembers how exactly a year ago I wrote a topic in Habré about the launch of the project nekto.me
Conceived as a small service of anonymous opinions about famous personalities, over the past year it has evolved into a full-fledged social network, imbued with anonymity :)
200,000 users, 950,000 comments and 38,000 visitors per day is nekto.me today.

Under the cut a small article about the life of the project.
How many people, so many opinions?Yes. In fact, since the launch date, 1 145 000 opinions have been published on the project.
Simply, many opinions are deleted, so now there are only 950 thousand of them in the database.
In the first half of the year, 300 thousand anonymous opinions were left, for the second, already 650 thousand.
Currently about 6500 opinions are published per day.
Opinions can be written without registration.
The question of spam was solved simply: set a limit of 90 seconds between comments.
Those who write on the merits do not interfere, but spammers and flooders are indignant :)
In addition, the links in the opinions are not clickable and the temptation of spammers is not enough.

Design MattersFor the first year, the logo and design of the project changed three times!
And all three times the changes were quite large, but users got used to them quite easily.
Logo Evolution:

Site evolution [clickable]:
About growth3 weeks after leaving the test mode, we had 3500 users registered.
The main impetus was given to Habr :) And then everything went like a snowball - people came and come following the links of their acquaintances / friends, register and call their friends.
The site refers at least 100 thousand pages. Overwhelmingly, from social networks.
Now about 800 new users are registered per day!
There are more than 300 thousand page views daily, that is, about 9 views per visitor on average. Half a year ago, one visitor looked, on average, 4.5 pages.
The increase in the number of views associated with the emergence of blogs and friends.
By the way, on February 1, 2011, we were told about us on radio Ekho.Moscow three times all over the country, but this did not give a visible influx of visitors. More precisely, I did not notice it at all :)
About anonymous chatWe are the first who made the choice of age group and gender.

Funny fact: until recently a new message in the chat was notified by
this sound .
Where is he from? It's simple: I double-clicked the language into the microphone, softened and accelerated the recording! :)
About pianoramMost recently, applications for
Symbian and
MeeGo have joined
Android and
iOS applications.
I use it myself, I do not like it :) This is how it looks on my old Nokia:

In addition, the owners of Windows Phone, Bada, Palm and BlackBerry can
download the tunein application and find it in the list of Pianorama radio stations. We are
there .
What do we plan to do next? Grow and, in particular, improve what is.
It feels like we are still deep in the ... testing stage :)
Thank you for your attention and support! In the comments I will try to answer the questions.
