Impressive uniques progression... what did you do on day 1? I mean, what strategy did you employ to launch the meme? I guess you launched it on codingrobots blog/newsletter/twitter, did you do anything else? Regarding the spreading, a tweet from some real author will be great (how?). And what about publishing some real-time stats about the results? i.e. 30% of our users write like Dan Brown, 10% like xxx, etc... EDIT: "Margaret Atwood, who is in our database of famous writers, tweeted about it (apparently, she doesn’t write like herself… oops :)" Already happened... enjoy the exponential growth in visits :)

(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1501078 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1501078). Total of 132 visits on the first day. Currently: facebook.com 20.75% tumblr.com 8.24% twitter.com 5.57% Of the popular writers, Margaret Atwood tweeted about it (apparently, she doesn't write like herself -- she is in the database :) http://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood/status/18463485898 http://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood/status/18463485898 and William Gibson http://twitter.com/GreatDismal/status/18450533599 http://twitter.com/GreatDismal/status/18450533599 I don't track any stats regarding results of analysis, I can only see which result pages get more visits.
