TeachStreet finds DailyCandy oh so Sweet

Sorry… we couldn’t resist that syrupy title.

DailyCandy.com Seattle did us the nicest favor by featuring us in today’s Seattle DailyCandy Teachy Keen e-mail, and on the DailyCandy website, and the impact was incredible!  They pretty much boosted our traffic through the roof (our lawyers won’t allow us to give specifics, but the technical term is that the pop was awesome!), but what’s even better is that their audience resonated perfectly with what we’re trying to achieve with TeachStreet — helping to connect inquiring minds with great local teachers, school and classes.  We set records for new reviews, new classes and new registered members, which continues a nice growth trajectory that we’ve seen since launch.  And, it looks like our most popular searches from the DailyCandy crowd today were for knitting classes, learning photography, tennis lessons, plus some summer sailing classes — we love it!

Thanks to everyone — our new teachers who have been helping us since launch two weeks ago, and today’s recent arrivals — we’re having a blast, and hope you are too.

And, for those of you not familiar with DailyCandy, head on over to their site and sign up for some Seattle DailyCandy — really, we received so many e-mails from friends today who (a) wrote to ask us if we knew about it (uhh… yeah ) and then (b) to tell us that it’s their favorite daily, must-read email subscription — so, what are you waiting for?!?
