Mix of both, we've got some pretty epic profiles-- but the majority comes from others sharing our stuff w/ their friends. Strong believer in this as a trend (Buzzfeed talks about this, too: http://adage.com/article/digitalnext/content-shar

Thanks-- and glad you found it valuable! Our growth has been nearly entirely social, with the 60% driven by sites like Pinterest, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, & Twitter. The rest mostly comes from our syndication partnerships. Outside

What's the best fitness advice HN has?

by derekflanzraich 15y ago
