Yesterday we reached 5,000 coRankers (5,107 at the time of this writing)!! Or if you don't like being called odd names, 5,000 people with an active account! ;-)

Sure, it's not one of those crazy numbers that we hear from some other sites, who get that amount times 10 in a day, but who cares! Considering we have just got started and our engine hasn't even warmed up, we think it's amazing!

Also, in barely 2-3 weeks of life since we launched the "build your own coRank site" service, already over 700 sites have been created!

It's no secret that many of those sites are merely a try-out and their owners, rather than being driven by a passion, an interest or simply something they enjoy, will likely leave them there collecting dust (note: eventually we may purge sites that have had no activity in several months - with a warning in advance of course), but it's also really exciting to see how some people not only are making their sites something more useful or entertaining day by day, whether submitted items collect many votes or not, but also to see that some people are using coRank in ways even we didn't think it coutd be used. I'll be writing about that soon.

And since the number of sites is increasing and we dont' want to miss any cool ones, if you've created a site and would like to have it featured in our home page, please let me know by either leaving a comment here, or via our contact page.

Social news (or social aggregators, social knowledge networks or however you want to call it) is starting to reach every corner of the net, and here at coRank we want to do our share to make it happen. There's so much more to come!!

Thank you all for your support.
