Week 2 Update

Posted by Tad Staley at 6:55 PM

Here's a quick update after the first week of Acrobat.com. The response has been terrific, in terms of new users, site visits and press reviews. We want to express our thanks to everyone who tried out our new service - we're going to continue working hard to earn your loyalty, tuning and enhancing our capabilities. But we couldn't have asked for a better start.

Our tracking software has been working hard this week, trying to keep up with all the activity. One interesting statistic is this one: the software looks at 214 countries, and in our first week we had visitors from 210. The top 10 countries are shown below:

   1. US: 36%
   2. France: 7%
   3. UK: 4%
   4. China: 4%
   5. Canada: 4%
   6. Spain: 4%
   7. Germany: 3%
   8. Italy: 3%
   9. Japan: 2%
   10. India: 2%
   Rest of World: 31%

Come on, all you folks in North Korea, Turkmenistan, the Central African Republic and Liberia! We're just four countries away from having global representation.

In terms of the press, the reviews were generally excellent. We did hear some reports about performance concerns. We think that these have been mostly ironed out; we needed to do some real-time tuning to handle the load and real-world experience. Rest assured that we are committed to continued tuning and improvement of our services - we've already deployed an update, which was applied without a hint of service interruption.

Here are a few press links, culled from the hundreds of reviews on Acrobat.com:

Finally, the best comment of the week came from a Twitter user:
