Wow, time sure does fly, doesn’t it? It flew by so fast that we almost missed our Birthday! Almost… This past Tuesday, December 3rd, was our official 3rd Birthday. We’ve taken some time this week to put together another Birthday Bash full of giveaways, just like last year. Unlike last year, we’re giving you a heads up on when to expect the giveaways so that more of you will be able to enter.
Take note, the giveaways will start on Monday, December 8th. We haven’t decided yet whether to stretch this over two days or three, we just wanted to make sure that everybody knows that come next week, the giveaways will start. If you want to participate, you’ll want to check back Monday morning. Entering will be super simple, but we’ll explain details later.
Lots of changes occurred over the last year that we wanted to make note of. Since our last birthday, our traffic substantially increased, we gained a couple thousand RSS readers as well as two thousand more registered users. Another big change came in August when Ryan and I transitioned from working on CyberNet full time, to working on it as a hobby.
A big THANKS goes out to all of you who have supported us along the way. There’s no way we would have made it to our third birthday without you. Here’s a quick look at our statistics for those of you interested. After three years, we present our stats:
- Over 5,000 registered users
- Over 6,000 posts
- Over 35,000 comments
- Over 3,900 articles CyberMarked
- Over 600,000 pageviews per month
- Over 240,000 pageviews on feed items per month

Wow that’s a really good share of the browser market here on your blog.
Are the giveaways restricted to U.S. users or is it an international offer? One year really went fast…very fast.
Yeah, that’s one reason we’ve always focused a lot on Firefox tips and news.
We’ll have more info on Monday, but they should all be worldwide. Or at least where it’s not prohibited by law.
Congratulations
Congratulations!!!

Congratulations. And i hope next year we’re all here for the same. Kee it up
I’m too happy and surprised to see Firefox’s marketshare so high among the so-called tech-aware people. IE (even IE8) deserves to die a slow painful death for not yet supporting standards like XHTML, SVG, CSS3, DOM3 and several others.
Does that 4.80% Safari constitute Safari for Windows?
Hope I win something this time. Last year, I won MediaMonkey Gold thanks to you. 9th is my b’day.
Happy B’Day – I have been reading for a little less than a year – I have passed on many many atricles to friends and family. Again thanks for the great site.
Today is Monday and no giveaways. Is it April Fools Day?
Just a tad too early today. The giveaways will be starting a bit earlier tomorrow and Wednesday though, so check back around the same time.
