Woah! This morning I woke up to see that we had already passed the 3,000 RSS subscriber mark. Looking at the pace STTG is running now – as far as new subscribers per day – we are excited to see how fast 4,000 will arrive.

UPDATES: This post will moving forward be updated each time this site reaches another 1000 subscribers.

The best way to relay the growth of total RSS subscribers is by breaking down the numbers per thousand new subscribers:

1. 0 subscribers (April 6th, 2006) – 1000 subscribers (December 14th, 2007) = 1 year 8 months 8 days OR 1.6 new subscribers per day.
2. 1000 subscribers (December 14th, 2007) – 2000 subscribers (January 6th, 2009) = 1 year 23 days OR 2.6 new subscribers per day.
3. 2000 subscribers (January 6th, 2009) – 3000 subscribers (March 28th, 2009) = 2 months 22 days OR 12.2 new subscribers per day.
4. 3008 subscribers (March 28th, 2009) – 4037 subscribers (April 28th, 2009) = 1 month 0 days OR 34.3 new subscribers per day.
5. 4037 subscribers (April 28th, 2009) – 5178 subscribers (May 19th, 2009) = 21 days OR 54.3 new subscribers per day.
6. 5178 subscribers (May 19th, 2009) – 5999 subscribers (June 15th, 2009) = 22 days OR 37.3 new subscribers per day.
7. 5999 subscribers (June 15th, 2009) – 7032 subscribers (June 30th, 2009) = 15 days OR 68.9 new subscribers per day.
8. 7032 subscribers (June 30th, 2009) – 8068 subscribers (August 5th, 2009) = 1 month 4 days OR 29.6 new subscribers per day.
9. 8068 subscribers (August 5th, 2009) – 9080 subscribers (September 29th, 2009) = 1 month 24 days OR 18.4 new subscribers per day.

The jump from 2000 to 3000 subscribers was extremely quick adding 1000 new subscribers in just under 90 days. Based on the above we may hit 4000 in half that time. Should be interesting!
