At a Belltown coffee shop yesterday, I spotted a guy at a nearby table reading GeekWire. I got a bit giddy seeing a stranger “in the wild” interacting with GeekWire. In a small way, it reinforced the importance of the community that we are building here.
It also was anecdotal evidence of what we are seeing in the numbers. May was another blockbuster month here at GeekWire, with traffic blowing past our original expectations.
We’re having a ball building GeekWire, digging into original stories that matter to our readers. We’re truly humbled by the support, and we’ll do our best to keep GeekWire fresh, interesting and fun as we roll out new features. (By the way, if you have story ideas or breaking news tips, please send them our way at tips@geekwire.com).
Anyway, that’s enough of my blabbering. Here’s what you really care about, a look back at the top 10 biggest traffic generators on the site last month. A pretty diverse mix. Thanks again to everyone for reading.
