Clue launch has been ON FIRE!

We launched Clue last Friday. The insane traffic, coverage, and endless flood of tweets left everyone very excited. We had an amazing weekend of activity with over 4700 tests created in just a few days. We just had to share with all of you. It all started with early mention on TechCrunch which brought in a lot of folks hitting the tool and giving their websites a test:


TechCrunch - Clue Tracks What People Remember About Your Website

We were super excited to see Clue on the Technology homepage of the New York Times! The young and energetic designer behind Clue was proud to show his parents the link to this article in the Times:


New York Times - Get a Clue: What Do People Remember About Your Site?

Folks from FastCompany loved the tool after trying it out and reached out to us for some background on the reasons we created Clue. Austin wrote a great review of the tool.

The article from New York Times was written by a writer from Read Write Web who published the article on their blog as well which got another few million people to see what Clue is all about:

The coverage continued with smaller blogs sharing the tool with their readers.

More than 4 million people saw Clue in their twitter streams and of course the tweets activity has absolutely flooded us. For every tweet we reply to we see 3 more pop up. It's been an insane few days. It was so neat to see the tweets from different professions that have used this tool:
