1-year birthday!

Posted by Michell | June 3rd, 2008

I can’t believe it! A full year has passed already since the first post on what used to be ‘MobileXpert’, which was my first English mobile blog about everything in the mobile world. After a month or two, I closed this blog, and started USEB, solely about Sony Ericsson phones, accessories and alike, with all related posts from MobileXpert as my foundation. USEB was an immediate success, and after only a few months in the game, we could call ourselves one of the best Sony Ericsson blogs on the world wide web.

During this year, we’ve expanded rapidly, going from reviewing own phones to being recognized by Sony Ericsson and granted access to review phones and other press related ‘bonuses’. Some of our most trustworthy readers will remember that USEB was once located at a WordPress.com domain, but due to an expanding act from our and SE-NSE’s side, we jumped to the current location, and we’ve been happy to be here ever since. Some may also have noticed our partnerships with other sites, and others may even have benefited from these.

In light of this ‘birthday’, as I’d call it, I thought I’d share some facts and numbers with you. This post will be the 450th post on USEB, and with a total amount of six posters with a broad knowledge on the subjects, covering all from news to rumours, I don’t think I’m wrong calling USEB the largest Sony Ericsson blog out there. During the past four months, our servers have served almost 620,000 pageviews, with a current average at 5,000 - 6,000 pageviews per day, which is something we’re of course very proud of. Our RSS feed counter today hit its up until now highest amount of readers at 630 feed readers - yet another thing we’re upmost thrilled about! This couldn’t have been achieved without you, though, and we’re pleased to say that this blog hosts no less than almost 2,500 comments!

On behalf of the entire team, I hope that you’ve enjoyed this year as much as we have, and we look forward to our next birthday - hopefully with you as a guest! Had it not been for a genious idea I got just yesterday, I would have unveiled our new blog theme today as a celebration and sign of what has happened. However, I’m quite sure you’ll like my idea once I reveal the new theme some day closer to the 17th :-)
