Growing growing growing...
The One Million Masterpiece is growing strong. With yesterday's record day of 7,000 unique visitors and well over 2,000 new members we received a huge boost in our aim to break the current world record by the end of the year. With this in mind I thought it might be nice to look back at where this all started.
Just four months ago, at the end of the first week of its life, the OMM was made up of around 300 pictures. At that point the picture looked more like a little patchwork quilt, although the notorious black squares were already becoming a feature of the community. For two months progress was slow, and it took a couple of months to hit the 1,000 member mark. Around two months ago the project saw a shift in approach. Following feedback and intensive discussion the mandatory donation was dropped, and two levels of membership were created. The result was an immediate acceleration in the growth of the picture.
Yesterday we smashed the 10,000 barrier, and the 'OMM Nebula' grew by over 2,000 mini pictures. With more website features coming on line this month, we can all look toward breaking the official world record of 25,297 contributors some time soon.
