Amatomu – Climbing Fast

Vincent chatted to me about the new feature that Amatomu launched last week that allows you to compare your blog reach with other blogs. I like this feature as it comes in handy for research and to see who is reaching more of an audience than you. As you can see below, Mike and I are pretty much on par, sometimes.

Amatomu - Comparison Graph

One slight suggestion though would be to allows users to embed the graph on their blog, similar to how Alexa allows me users to. No the less, a nifty feature. Vincent mentioned he loves playing with statistics, so I can safely assume we will see more features like this one.

Something that Amatomu has just launch is the fastest climbing and overall losers in terms of their traffic algorithm. It’s another feature that allows users to see who is rising and who is falling. I think it’s a great way to find new content from the South African blogosphere as it is growing rather rapidly. You can view it on the far right hand sidebar.

Amatomu has come a long way since it’s launch. I like the way it is progressing as I love statistics, although I am still waiting for an API and mobile access. Never the less, great job Vincent.
