A sneak peek into the spiraling growth of this website reveals a social bug at its core. This question and answer platform is extremely viral and a month back it reached a billion questions which were answered on its network.
The website came into being about nine months ago. But off late the site is giving sleepless nights to its competitors with its buzzing traffic. The site has about 16.5 million registered users. Around five million questions are answered on a daily basis. And at its peak approximately nine thousand questions are answered every minute.
The explosive growth of the company is attributed to its innovation and entry into the web’s social sphere. Around July the website went the multi player way allowing users to question more than a single friend. A recent feature known as connections allows users to see whom they interacted with. There also have been many third party extensions for iPhone etc.
The websites applications were integrated with the social media and blogspots such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr, Wordpress and MySpace. This greatly contributed to the websites success. The social network and media is going to drive the world’s traffic for many years to come.
This is again a new trend that is picking up.
