Today is a monster milestone for Infobarrel.com as we finally surpass the 10,000 unique article mark!

We launched July 31st 2008, and didn’t crack the 1000 article mark until late March 2009, but the site is growing at an amazing rate.  Hopefully six months from now we will be blogging about reaching the 100,000 article mark!

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, over a years worth of hard work has led to this milestone.  I’m excited to see what the future has in store for us.  Keep up all the fantastic work, this place wouldn’t be where it is today without your hard work and contributions!

Hey everybody,

This weekend the approval queue got a little bit backlogged due to the fact that it is labor day weekend.  Some of us went away for the weekend and  I’ve been battling some form of nasty cold for nearly a week.  We normally have a pretty quick turnaround time on article approval but due to the Holiday articles have been getting approved a little slower than normal.

I’m working today (yes on the holiday) to try and clear things up a bit and get things running back to normal!

Hope everybody is having an awesome Labor Day long weekend!
