I* am curious about your growth.

Did signup conversion change when you switched from one-time fee to recurring?

Do you have any current weird channels for user acquisition? I mean, besides those last few del.icio.us users...

P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen, Pinboard's Twitter account is pretty amusing startup satire.

I think conversion changed, but I don't know. I don't do a very good job at tracking it.

My weird channels for acquisition are a variety of publicity stunts and Twitter drama. Something like IFTTT recently threatening to turn off their Pinboard channel is manna from heaven for me.

That was a heart-stopping day given how many Pinboard rules I have.
