uISV Class '07 March Grades

I was kindly asked when the grades for March were going to be up, so here there are. Here's last months results for a reference point. I'm going to keep the +/- next to the score that I started last month to make it easy to see the general progress. I'm getting enough data points, I think I might start adding a graph. Something to think about.

I decided to create a graph to see what it looks like. Its not as helpful as I would have liked, but here it is

Only really three sites moved this month. I think any change < 10 points is really just noise in the grading. Since the grade is a percent of the all web sites graded, the more sites that are used, the more this can fluctuate. Over time this will have less affect as the number data set gets large enough. I don't know if we have hit that point or not. I don't think we have because I have not changed the omnicustomersupport and its score keeps bouncing around.

Last month Boris, from SportaVista, stated his goal was to be the most improved for the month and he was very successful. His score jumped a staggering 35 points. That's why its important to set goals in life.

And SendAlong and Chatspring also showed double digit gains. Good timing for both of them. I keep hearing that Chatspring will be in beta any time now (lets all encourage Starr to finally push it out the door and let us look at his baby.) And Jon released version 1.0 of SendAlong that allows you send large files to people. It really is a great app that is easy to use. He has had a lot of good press lately. Jon, anything special you did during your release to get the traffic increase that you are seeing?

The average score nosed up a bit. We can thank Boris for that. Some of us appear to have reached a plateau. I'm not sure how to break through it. Any ideas?

Let me know if the chart is useful or just taking up space. I'm not sure. I thought it would be nice to see longer term trends, but with so many data sets, it is a little messy. Maybe I'll just call out a few sites each month (biggest gainers & losers?) to see trends.

See you all again next month.
