Numbers
RSS FEED -- We currently have 13 members subscribed to our feed. This is not an astronomical number, but please consider that we only launched the feed last month. This number is growing slowly but steadily, just like the site, in general.
TWITTER PRESENCE -- Over 1,800 Twitter users follow this site and not only interact when links are Tweeted, but also participate in RT'ing those specific links and tweets. This is a community that steadily grows, just like the RSS feed subscribers (but at this point, at a more rapid rate).
PAGEVIEWS -- This website experiences an average of over 6,000 unique pageviews each month. This is also a number that continues to grow every month. This site went live near the end of November, and understandably took some time to establish a following. During those two week, nearly 2,000 unique pageviews were received. In "The Isle's" second month, December (2011), it received 5,476 unique pageviews. In January (2012), there were 6,599 unique pageviews.
