Welcome!

More stats:

  • 53 registered users
  • 432 haikoos started (22% growth in five days!)
  • 1278 lines written
  • 128 haikoos marked as favorites
  • 288 “smile” or “frown” ratings

The site is still growing — new features will be launching soon. Likely after I’m finished with finals this week though.

Oh, and one more thing:

Promo Cards

That is all.

  • 48 registered users
  • 347 haikoos started (more than double last week!)
  • 1021 lines written (nearly triple last week!)

The most frequent contributors are:

Username Lines
tom (that’s me!) 10.6%
SpecialK 10.4%
marmay9 8.6%
singingjana 7.6%
J00000E 6.6%
elijosius 6.1%
Augenblick 6.0%
Mariel 5.4%
vixy 4.8%
crkrcksteady 4.4%

Some recent changes include dividing up the long lists of completed haikoos into pages, showing some stats on a user pages, and moving to much cleaner URLs. You may have noticed that last one if you’ve tried to send someone a link to a haikoo recently — so clean!

As always, let me know what things you’d like to see in a site like this. Send me an e-mail, or post a comment for me right here. I’m listening!

As of right now, there are:

  • 31 users
  • 132 haikoos started
  • 392 lines of poetry written
  • 55 haikoos marked as favorites
  • 71 “smile” or “frown” ratings on individual haikoos

Here are some of my favorites:

streetside
little old lady
release your grocery cart
those shackles are loud

(Participants: vixy, chrispin, WEContact)

wine wine wine
merlot and syrah
crab-stuffed sole and tiger prawns
om nom nom nom nom

(Participants: tom, SpecialK, vixy)

My dog
Little tiny dog,
eating his own excrement
no vacuuming here

(Participants: spw, singingjana, marmay9)

I’m slowly building more and more on the site — ratings and favorites have just been added. Since there are a lot of haikoos, you can mark the ones that you want to find again as Favorites. You can see your Favorites list on your user page. This is great for when you want include some of your favorite haikoos in a blog post about the status of the project. Q.E.D., baby.

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of it so far — it’s getting better all the time!

Through word of mouth, blog, and a few forum posts, Haikoo.org is growing pretty nicely! Here are some metrics on where we stand:

  • There are 16 users signed up
  • Those 16 users have started 37 haikoos
  • 93 lines of haikoo poetry have been written

This is great! And I have been getting some good feedback on where the site should go next.

One change that is live now is that contributor names are now clickable, which sends you to a page that lists the completed haikoos to which they have contributed. This makes it easy to cruise around and explore the creativity of your fellow users. More things will be added soon, like haikoo ratings and maybe profiles… if you have any ideas for things you’d like to see, let me know.

I’m having a great time with this, and I hope you are too.
