We found out about the Widgetbox (http://www.widgetbox.com) shutdown today. They were a formidable provider of widgets prior to the mobile proliferation, using Flash.
We'd love to help anyone who wishes to transition to HTML5 compatible widgets switch over to Blogvio.
Cendrine, a Twitter user, reviewed Blogvio on her blog and shared the link here: https://twitter.com/cendrinemedia/status/397851160976961536
She has little over 5000 followers. The craziness comes next. :-)

We start to get quite a few retweets and decide to see what's the buzz about. We didn't do anything special to promote Blogvio yet, so what's up?
Using TweetDeck we respond quickly to all comments and tweets, then we dive deep. What we find out is that the tweet has been retweeted many times, and combined was sent to more than 100k users in just 6 hours.

This came as a surprise, since we tried two days ago to buy Twitter Ads and were not able to (not in US).
So we went straight to Google Analytics. And the question is.. what do you think has happened, especially since Twitter just went public today? :-)
Then we'll share some screenshots from Google Analytics every day. But I'd love to let you guess. :)
