I agree, the search form on Mashable.com is not the easiest to locate. I’m also a sucker for stats and I just like being able to see a number which tells me upfront what the facts are.
I have never been one to focus on numbers too much. It is not a bad thing to do, but people end up getting obsessed with numbers. They spend time checking stats, that could be spent elsewhere. In the end just keep improving your user experience, keep adding helpful original content, and the numbers will go where you want.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
