A Lijit vacation, celebration and cupcake inspiration
One of our publishers took a trip and was kind enough to bring us along. Here is Calamity Jen strolling around the International Market Place in Honolulu. It helps us all to sleep at night knowing that someone is doing the hard job of evangelizing in Hawaii when our CEO isn’t there.
On April 1st (no foolin’), Lijit celebrated a milestone around our office. We hit a million page views that day and couldn’t wait to share our success with the rest of the Boulder startup community. At our CEO’s insistence, an impromptu party was thrown together to fully commemorate the event. Tweets went out and at the appointed time, we had about 20 people gathered in our office to help us with all the extra alcohol that we had sitting around the kitchen.
We marked the occasion with a shot and it was decided that when we hit 2 million, there will be two shots. Yikes. After the fact, we realized that it was also a very informal office warming, since we never actually had one of those. (You can see a video of the office tour that Todd gave to Colorado Startups here.) It was a fun time and good chance to say thanks to the folks that have helped us along the way.
And a big thanks go out to one of our newest Lijit publishers and the bearer of delicious tidings…Cupcakes Take The Cake. Besides posting pictures of amazing cupcakes, they also have a directory of where to buy cupcakes all over the country. You won’t find too many recipes, but I don’t find that problematic because sometimes, you just want to look at a cupcake. (Tends to be the lower calorie option as well…) We are excited to be helping out cupcake aficionados everywhere by providing a valuable search tool that serves up relevant and tasty results.
