Damn that cheap server!
Bunsen Honeydew, Web Scientist at COTW.
On monday, we were included in Henry Abbott’s daily bullets on TrueHoop, which led to way more traffic on courtsoftheworld than we usually experience. More people registered, more people added courts. We also got tons of advice on what still needs to be done better, hints what might be missing. And we got a lot of encouragement and positive feedback.
The two most important lessons we took away from this?
1) There is a real need for what we do. That’s why we’re going to go back to the lab, lock ourselves in and work on all your suggestions to get it right.
2) It’s the ballers putting their homecourts on the map and displaying their skills on video who make this site colorful and informative (which we of course knew all along). Giving you even more opportunities to interact and edit information on courtsoftheworld is the next thing on our to-do-list.
So watch out for some big changes coming up. And keep spreading the word!
