10Questions Update: Halfway Thru Round One

We had 1500 unique visits to 10Questions yesterday, with about 6,500 page views. The ratio of new visitors to returning visitors continued to be quite promising, with about one-in-five visits coming from folks returning to the site. We’ve tallied more than 53,000 votes from nearly 17,000 participants, and the number of video questions on the site now stands at 142.

David Colarusso, 10Questions’s co-creator, continues to add new features, and today we changed the home page slightly to hopefully help return visitors find and vote on more videos. As of now, the default setting of the home page will only display videos that you haven’t yet vote on. (The option remains to click to see all videos, if you want to see the full rankings, for example). We think this new approach will address the concerns of some participants that the design of the home page subtly favors questions that already have a high number of votes.

Some interesting new sites have emerged among our top referrers, including TeacherWeb.com, RichardDawkins.net, RationalResponders.com, ComputerwiseTV.com and LearntheNet.com.

We’ve hit the halfway point in Round One, and there’s still plenty of time for new questions to be submitted and for them to rise to the top of the heap.
