What a wild weekend we had. Traffic was way above expectations and the server team did an awesome job of last minute configuration changes to handle the load.

Following on from the TechCrunch article Minti has been mentioned in a bunch of other blogs spanning the globe and we have enjoyed getting feedback from all sorts of places. Particularly positive have been the comments about the look and feel of the site plus its easy navigation. We have had to spell out our plans for the future on some posts so that people understand there is much more to come from the Minti team. We have raised enough money to really support and develop the parenting community allowing parents to share and rank without any hidden agenda from the team here.

Here is a blog mention round-up (in no particular order just as I came across them):
