DimeCasts.Net day one in the rear view mirror

WOW, what a fun 24 hours. Yesterday was arguably the most fun 'deployment' day of my career. And not simply because it was a project I created, but because it was a project that I am passionate about.

Releasing DimeCasts.net yesterday was such a high, but what made it even better was all the positive feedback I have received from this. I thought I would share some day one stats from the site.

Stats

Total # of Downloads?	747 (times the download link was clicked)
Total Unique IP's w/ Downloads?	235
Total # Page Views	7700+
Total # Visits	5100+
Total # of KB transferred	7.2 gig (S3 here I come)
Browser Breakdown	Firefox (54%) IE (37%)

What is next

Well, I am going to continue to add episodes, but that was a given. But most importantly I am going to continue to add features. I already have updated the site a few times to add some subtle features, but I also have a backlog of 10+ things I would like to add.

Some of them include:

Streaming video's
Ipod/Zune support
Recommend a topic feature

Hope everyone likes the site, please let me know your thoughts.

Till next time,

you may want to look at SimpleCDN (blog.lotas-smartman.net/simplecdn-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin). i am using them for some of my sites, and they work quite well!

I'd love to be able to add these to iTunes as a podcast! I tried to add the dimecasts feed to iTunes but it didn't work. It thought they were text-only episodes.

@Scott,

I am working on getting the RSS feed to work with iTunes, hopefully in the next week to 10 days.
