They had (and still have) two founders. According to Compete, they had on the order of 40-50k uniques a month, but that may be US only.

I just went back and looked at their application to figure out how we realized they were good. Their answers were very clear and concise; they obviously understood their users well. Plus they had both done interesting stuff before.

Jon has definitely done tons of cool stuff: http://yesthat.com/

It'd be really cool to see the responses, only of course, if Jon is comfortable with this.

The article said 6.5 million uniques. The URL you gave claims 150k. I have always been confused by the various rankings but that seems a big difference.

And Quantcast says they only have 9.2k US uniques!

Obviously the data on these sites is crap. Whatever number Jon is quoting is presumably the most accurate, since he has the actual logs.

I figure between 150K and 200K uniques (daily) based on Alexa and 5 sites that I have access to log files of.

Alexa is pretty lousy in an absolute sense but if you can compare with known numbers it gets a lot more useable.
