Here are the highlights of our second full day out in the world (October 18): More of our co-sponsors chimed in with posts, and we started getting some solid news stories about 10questions as well. (See below.) Over the course of the day, we had more than 7,100 unique visits, a solid increase over our first day, and average time on the site was nearly 2 minutes, with 2.2 pages/visit. There were 29 videos submitted in all, with a total of nearly 8,500 votes cast from 2,300 voters (up from 4,100 yesterday). In sum, things are going well!
