Significant Moments in our First Year

Published on July 1, 2008 - 118 Comments

Today being listverse’s first birthday, I am dedicating the list to the site. This is a list of the ten most significant events in the short history of the site. I hope you enjoy the list, and I hope that next year we can have an even greater number of things to add!

BBC Radio Article

Bbc 682 404993A

Unbeknownst to me, some time earlier this year, BBC Radio did a 30 minute show on the site! I stumbled upon it completely by accident - but what an amazing thrill it was! Fortunately for all of us, it is still on and can be listened to in its entirely here. Many thanks to Jacqueline Alexander who did the show. Be sure to check it out!

Happy Birthday Listverse!

Published on July 1, 2008 - 96 Comments

Today (July 1) is the first birthday of the List Universe. One year ago today we published our very first list - Top 10 Largest Arms Exporters. If you check it out you will see how far we have come in quality and quantity! With only 6 comments, that list garnered one of the smallest responses from readers - that is no surprise. Compared to the 1,178 comments on the most recent “your view”, we really have come a long way - thanks mostly to you - our readers!

Happy 1st Birthday Listverse!

Now that the first year is behind us, we can look forward to the next year and hope that we get as much growth and have as much fun as we have so far. I am as enthusiastic about the site as I was one year ago today and I have many plans for the future.

Site Update: May 2008

Published on May 18, 2008 - 28 Comments

It has been a couple of months since my last administrative update so it is fitting that there should be one this month as so much is happening. I hope you find this update useful and if you have any questions or suggestions for the site, be sure to tell us in the comments!

Farewell to England

Farewell

In four days I will be flying to New Zealand from England where I have lived for the last three years. It is a permanent move. As a result, I am now in the final stages of preparing to depart which involves the awful task of farewelling family and loved ones. You might have noticed that I have not been as vocal in the last couple of weeks - this is due to packing and other preparations for the trip. Once I arrive back in New Zealand I will be able to dedicate myself entirely to the site again.

March 2008 Update

Published on March 31, 2008 - 44 Comments

Last month we missed our update due to a few other issues arising, so I figured it was time to do a new one.

Competitions

First off, all of those who are still waiting for competition prizes - my apologies for the delay! Virgin Money (the company I use for the Listverse Credit card) has been a constant problem since I moved to them. The good news is that the problems are all sorted now so the rest of the prizes should start shipping in the next one or two days (depending on Amazon and other stores).

Top 10 Ways You Can Help Listverse

Published on February 27, 2008 - 80 Comments

Since starting this site 8 months ago, the administrative load has increased quite a lot. We are now receiving over 2 and half million pageviews a month and as a result of this, the administrative tasks have increased - this has meant that I am not able to comment as much as I would like on the lists. So, this has prompted me to put together this list of things you can do to help the site out - these are all things that will make my job easier- giving me more time to comment and write lists!

10. Wear our Merchandise

Picture 1-23

As you should all know by now, we have a line of our own merchandise! When you buy something from our store it helps us in two ways:

1) We make a small amount of money off each item you buy
2) When you use the items, you are publicizing the site!

In addition - you get the benefit of owning some very exclusive and cool merchandise! Everyone is a winner!

You can get to the store by clicking this link.
