It won't take long for the interest in it to bump it to the top.

It's not exactly one of my interests either but apparently enough folks are interested in this kind of stuff for it to hit the top so quickly.

Apparently it entered the TIOBE list recently, so perhaps it will gain some momentum.

By the time its close to makes popularity, it will.

I'm sure this will take off.

mck- | karma 1968 | avg karma 4.49 · | 2012-10-10 18:17:57+00:00

I'd second that -- the fact that it jumped to the top means there are enough people who haven't seen it before

It’ll become eye-poppingly popular

The uptick could be temporary because it is catching people off guard with rhemused to seeing most relevant result in top. But the allure of the exposure will always be there even after people smartens up

"if they can keep this pace" being the qualifying phrase, of course. This project has gone super-viral -- $2mil within its first day. Because word is spreading so quickly, its entire target market will have learned about it in, what, 4 days, tops? It's not like the insane growth will continue after that happens.

owlstuffing | karma 181 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2023-08-23 14:56:49

Oh, it’s catching on

_emacsomancer_ | karma 3868 | avg karma 2.65 · | 2019-04-05 22:08:17

But it can become known/popular much faster, I would assume.

AlexeiSadeski | karma 122 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2013-03-27 04:28:25+00:00

It's already decently popular.

agumonkey | karma 29727 | avg karma 1.44 · | 2018-02-06 21:09:58

The marketing stunt is gonna be at the top for while.

austenallred | karma 22490 | avg karma 7.52 · | 2015-03-02 22:57:26+00:00

Ya, it's at the top of the to-do list. Honestly didn't think this was going to take off so much, so didn't really care. But now it's become a priority.

nostrademons | karma 78749 | avg karma 5.45 · | 2011-04-12 04:25:25+00:00

When did it jump up? Do you know of anything they did that'd make them suddenly more popular?

bemmu | karma 16056 | avg karma 6.67 · | 2021-07-12 12:03:48

There's a good chance this will take off, because it's controversial enough to gain free press.

nvk | karma 3542 | avg karma 4.35 · | 2013-09-17 22:00:20+00:00

I hope it takes off.

> If its really 'that good', people will slowly pick it up.

Empirically, that's been happening?

It gets more popular mostly because it's popular.

fnid2 | karma 1752 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2010-03-24 23:34:08+00:00

Let's hope it can withstand the onslaught of popularity.
