Congrats on your brilliant execution.

I've noticed that from the beginning you've made it a point to share your growth numbers every few weeks (on HN and outside). How much has this helped you in generating buzz and getting more users? Would you recommend it to other startup founders?

I'm a big fan of transparency. I really do believe that the more other people know about your business the more they are able to truly understand it and get behind it. The data is the data is the data. If it's bad, you need to improve. If it's good, you can use it to tell a story. Either way, it is what it is. And, never stop learning.

Most startups don't share their numbers for fear of competition, so thanks for sharing yours.
