Whoa! That's a big jump in pageviews. Nice!

@jasongoldberg I just sent you an email, but I think this is great. Congrats! If you can keep the new feature updates coming at a nice interval, the traffic should continue to grow! Your doing a great job as unusual, Jason:-)

@jasongoldberg Congratulations! That is one fantastic week. @nigelwalsh Thanks for the props :) Facebook has too many users to be ignored and socialmedian is taking advantage of that.
