\"dr-evil\"<\/a>I just wanted to say thank you<\/em> to everyone for reading Today I Found Out<\/a>, and update you on a few kind of cool things that have happened the last month on the site.<\/p>\n

First, we published a book, The Wise Book of Whys<\/em> (available in Print<\/a> | Kindle<\/a> | Nook<\/a> | Audiobook<\/a>), which has been steadily gaining on the charts and today is at #1 overall in Trivia for e-books and #6 in print Trivia books (ranked 19,384 today out of all the books on Amazon, which is kind of fun ;-)).<\/p>\n

We also launched a “Daily Knowledge” podcast (iTunes<\/a> | RSS\/XML<\/a>), which has reached as high as #13 overall in iTunes’ podcast rankings, and as high as #1 a couple days in our particular podcast categories (“Society and Culture” and “History”).\u00a0 It was also featured as a “Top New Show” on the podcast network Stitcher.<\/p>\n

Now-a-days, just a little over a month after launching, it is up to about 13,000-14,000<\/em> downloads per day steady, which has completely blown us away at how popular it’s been in such a limited time since the launch.<\/p>\n

We also launched the TodayIFoundOut Shop<\/a> right now featuring original very high quality nerdy t-shirts and hoodies, but we’ll soon be expanding to a lot of other original nerdy and educational product outside of clothing.<\/p>\n

Finally, for the first time in TIFO’s history, we’ve passed 2 million visitors in a month (2,203,507 to be exact), and well over 3 million pageviews in a month, a first on both of those (counting our YouTube channel<\/a> views, Daily Knowledge newsletter<\/a>, and Daily Knowledge podcast<\/a> it actually pushes well over 4 million “views” across the whole network in the last month).<\/p>\n

This is particularly amazing considering it was just four months ago that we passed 2 million views for the first time.<\/p>\n

So THANK YOU again for reading and following TodayIFoundOut.\u00a0 We’ve got a lot of new things planned for 2014 that I think you’re going to like a lot, so stay tuned. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
