One metric that jumped out at me is the global reach.  .  There was a similar growth in terms of RSS subscribers, finishing with about 750 (although Feedburner "lost" about 400 of them this morning which I assume will be "found" tomorrow).   You can see which page they left from but not where they went.

For many startups, this can be some of the hardest money to raise because traditional metrics aren’t well established, yet. I have some personal travel goals as well – I want to build a raft and sail from Indonesia to Papua New Guinea. Thanks to Will Hatton, Hotel Jules ! #14- 14- Democratize corporate learning.
