Usage of MarkMatson.com skyrockets

It is with great excitement that I announce a huge increase in consumer interest in new blog start-up MarkMatson.com.

Page views on the site jumped from 1 view on Wednesday 17th to a staggering 40 views on Thursday 18th, an astronomical climb of 4000% which translates to an annual growth rate of 1460000%. Readership levels remain steady.

CEO and founder Mark Matson partially attributes the growth spurt to the newly-discovered talents of partner and business associate Lauren Anderson. Anderson's recent blog entry exposed an enchanting and sublime writing ability that is credited with catalysing the new public interest. Mark commented earlier today - "We're really pleased with Lauren's efforts. She's certainly surprised a lot of people with her post".

Responding to criticisms that Anderson will turn out to be a "one-hit wonder", he said "I think anyone who is able to recognise true quality will acknowledge that Anderson's work will stand the test of time".

MarkMatson.com (StockWatch: MMAT) is seeking VC funding next month and hopes to raise at least $US20 million in the first round.
