Growth, growth, growth

EveryTrail is growing fast. We saw the first day with over 1,000 uploaded trips in April (yes, that’s right, 1,000 unique, personal travel experiences IN ONE DAY!), and we are fast approaching 100,000 publicly shared trips.

We’ve been working hard at keeping up with all this growth in traffic and content. We made important upgrades to the server infrastructure and migrated to a new scalable framework to prepare for the next wave of growth.

Along with the growth came some growing pains. Since this morning GPS file uploads are not working. While we are resolving this please use the following temporary fix:

  • Go to GPSVisualizer.com
  • Upload your file to a Google Map
  • Click on the “export to EveryTrail” option above the map
  • Then follow the steps
  • This way you should be able to continue uploading trips.

    To stay up-to-date on our progress, please follow EveryTrail on Twitter: Twitter.com/EveryTrail

      What do you think accounts for your dramatic traffic increase in February (at least, according to Compete.com, you guys really flew higher at that point). Prior to the February numbers, you stayed quite lower fairly consistently. Then, Bam!

      Remember, as the growth pressure builds, that only great applications get asked to scale up!
