Numbercrunching : An update on some key figures

Today we've hit some numbers worth celebrating, so let's break them down. Firstly, we've just served the one millionth page of this website. To date, 168,000 unique visitors have looked at 1,000,000 pages on the OMM website.

The 15,600 images currently making up the OMM have now been replayed over 100,000 times – that's an average of 6 replays per member.

Over 15,000 comments have been posted by members, with the most popular image notching up just under the 200 comments (well done Angeli).

Lastly, the OMM currently forms a circular 'nebula' that would measure 8 meters in diameter if printed - just over the average height of a two storey house.

Can one million people work together in producing one giant artistic collaboration?

Why I Blog

Last year I was asked by my local development agency to talk to school children and young adults about starting businesses and life as an entrepreneur. Naturally I balked at the idea. Nothing terrifies me more than standing in front of 30 young people, desperately trying to keep them interested in what I’m saying.

After further discussions it was suggested that I might blog about my experiences as a young businesses owner and social entrepreneur, so that younger people might get a flavour of the kind of issues I face in a medium they understand.

I'm currently in my (late!) twenties and have built up several businesses ranging from car dashboards, software sales, website design and restaurants. My current project is a major charity arts event. I have a strong form of the learning difficulty dyscalculia, but hope to show others that the disorder can be overcome by effective coping strategies and a lot of confidence!

So here I am.
