100 downloads!

OK, so maybe I am overreacting a little bit, but last night we had our 100th download of swipr! This means that at least 100 people have probably installed it and looked at the demo project. I'm very curious to find out how many people are actually using it for a project at this moment.
As it happens, a number of former colleagues have started to use swipr here in The Netherlands. From them, I know that they are using it, although I have had to help them set up swipr to make it work for them. So how do I find out how many other people are using it?

One more question on my mind is this: at this time, over 170 people have registered for the swipr website. The only reason for them to do so at this moment is, as far as I can tell, to download swipr. However, only 102 downloads have happened so far. That means 40% of the people that register, do not download swipr. Is there a bug in my metrics set-up, or are people abandoning the process after they've registered? If anyone has experienced problem with the download, please let me know!

swipr visitors & downloads

This picture is taken from google analytics, that is keeping track of visitors to swipr.com. As you can see there are two peaks. The first (very small) one happened directly after the release of swipr in Berlin, during the weekend of Sep 30th - Oct 1st. A maximum of 46 visitors and 579 pageviews on one day was the result of this.

On Wednesday, Oct 25th, I sent a message to two IA mailing lists (IxDA Discuss and SIGIA-l). This peak was a bit more impressive, resulting in 261 visitors and almost 3000 pageviews in one day. Visitors then sharply fall again, but I'm hoping that there will be a bit of publicity within the blogosphere after people start using swipr in the next couple of weeks.

The total number of swipr downloads is now up to 92. I'm hoping at least soe of these people will actually start using swipr. I've been helping out a couple of people here in The Netherlands with setting up and starting to use it, which might be a bit more tricky for people further away. Still, it should not be an excuse not to use swipr, as there is a support forum on the swipr site which I am constantly monitoring.
