			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started <a href="http://moodlemonthly.com">Moodlemonthly.com</a> late November 2009.  I thought of it while I was running (there are many benefits to a solo jog).</p>
<p>While working for <a href="http://globalclassroom.us">GlobalClassroom.us</a> I was collecting a vast repository of information (and tracking new information) on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, a huge majority of topics, sources and subjects were unusable (after all, why would a corporate blog trying to advance it&#8217;s own agenda talk about the great things that other companies and organizations were doing?).  Anyways, I didn&#8217;t want to sit on the data so I spend 15 bucks on 2 domains and 80 bucks on a hosting account with <a href="http://Bluehost.com">Bluehost.com</a> (I am not at all disappointed).</p>
<p>I mapped the RSS to <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter </a>using <a href="http://twitterfeed.com">Twitterfeed </a>(great service), included some #tags in every post and was off to the races.  Literally.  Traffic the first month was up something crazy like 1500%.  After a predicted leveling off growth is still +100% month over month and this week was the biggest ever.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a taste of how things are rolling:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.josephthibault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mm-traffic.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-497" title="mm traffic" src="http://www.josephthibault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mm-traffic.png" alt="" width="428" height="231" /></a></p>
<p>The jump this week (which was +1000 hits) was caused exclusively by the leaked photos of a <a href="http://www.moodlemonthly.com/2010/mobile-moodle-is-coming-screen-shots-available/">Mobile app for Moodle</a> (the first ever of it&#8217;s kind to be this crisp and well received.  Things will dip again a bit, but I&#8217;m thinking sustained growth will continue (albeit at a lesser clip).</p>
<p>Up and to the right!</p>
