How's Smugmug doing ?

Hi,
I feel like it's been a while since an update on SmugMug's growth was posted. After all we're all wishing SmugMug the best and want to stay customer for a long long time So is SM still doing ok ?

And just for the geek factor, I'd love to know the total images, videos, subscribers, storage statistics, daily uploads... Are these numbers available somewhere ?

There are a few infos available from Don's last blog post :
* Facebook photo is huge
* SmugMug is "4th largest photo sharing site in the world"

Anything else ?

Thanks,
McGil.

Hi McGil!

We're a private company, so we don't tend to publish lots of the info you're asking about But I can tell you this:

Billions of happy photos and millions of passionate customers.
The # of customers includes Subscribers at all levels and also people that purchase photos from us. We're growing pretty well & fast, we're now up to 60 employees, and we're all still as passionate as ever about photography and sharing photos and providing pro commerce as we ever have been.

We're still profitable, and still debt-free, and we love (and thrive) on our independence!

As to the geek stuff: we love our relationship with Amazon for EC2 and S3, and we've also not been shy about talking about our use of CDN for speedy delivery of photos and videos world-wide to you and your visitors. We continue to spend tons on infrastructure to deliver big photos to gorgeous galleries. Speed matters, and we're consistently ranked among the fastest sites of our kind.

We're committed to bringing out new features regularly, for all levels of customers, you can see what's been happening lately by visiting our release notes blog. We have a huge priority list that we're working on, and we don't intend to lose focus, I can promise you that!

We're in our 9th year of business, have seen lots of companies come and go, and some that have come and keep us on our toes! We intend to be here for our 19th year, and 90th, too.

Thanks for posting the questions - hope this helps and of course, holler with more!
