100,000

Depending which counter you look at, nothing new under the sun passed 100,000 hits around 8 pm last night. About two hours earlier, my wife's website also passed 100,000. This site took eighteen months; hers took six days. Thanks for visiting!
As best I can work out, the 100,000th page load came from someone in Perth running Windows XP. If you think this might be you, post (or email) your IP address for twenty points.

What was your wife's website about?

Justin - it was a tool put togther by people at my wife's work (GetUp) to help Aussies think about who they might vote for. You answered 20 multiple choice questions about your views on various issues and these answers were matched with answers from your local candidates. You ended up with a list of preferences and percentages of how closely you matched each candidate. It was a very popular site, though somewhat controversial since the Libs (despite repeated invites) generally decided not to play. You can check out some of the debate over the site here.
