My traffic went through the roof yesterday, and I couldn’t figure out why. All I could see was the Google Adsense page impressions number climbing into the stratosphere. The reason turned out to be Reddit. Reddit is another social bookmarking site, not based on tags, but votes. Something like CommonTimes. The post in question, Hugh Gallagher’s funny college admissions essay, generated as many hits in one day as two good days for me previously.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

I am coming from reddit myself, and I stoped by to say keep up the good work.

Thanks Marcos! I will check into it. I am no CSS guru, and the constant battle to keep pages looking good in all the browsers is wearing thin. But I will fix it if I can.
