Trapster Welcomes Sean to the Team!
Posted by Stefanie in Events, News, Stats, Trapster Life on May 13th, 2009
Today we welcome Sean Farrell to the Trapster family as our new community rock star, aka Tweet King. He will be working closely alongside Jenn and myself inspiring, growing, and nourishing our Trapster community.
Some tid-bits about Sean: he can bench press approximately 490lbs, was born in Virginia and moved out to SoCal when he was 3. His career, thus far, has included a few start-ups and household names such as Sony and Callaway. He’s a big fan of Subway sandwiches and will be the proud owner of a shitpoodle… I mean a shitzpoodle… Anyways, some small dog he was probably coerced into getting, though he’d be hard-pressed to admit it. hehe
We’re excited to have him join the Trapster team.
Welcome!
600K Trapster Users Worldwide
As of 8:15am PST today, Trapster hit a pretty big milestone — we’re now 600,000 strong and growing. Here’s a few stats that might be of interest:
- 600,178 total users worldwide
- 458,389 iPhone users worldwide
- 325,776 traps reported worldwide
We’re pretty stoked about these stats and we hope to have some interesting numbers to report on BlackBerry users in the very near future. Since the launch of BlackBerry’s App World, Trapster has garnered a lot of attention from BlackBerry users and we’ve managed to solidify a place in the store’s top 10 free downloads list (we’re currently number 7), and we’ve managed to claim the #1 spot in the Travel category.
More Users, Better Data
So what do these numbers mean for the average Trapster user? Since Trapster is 100% community supported — we rely on you to create and report speed traps — the more people using the application, the better the speed trap alert data we can supply. So, more people equals more traps, and more traps means better awareness and regional coverage.
Thank You
We appreciate every single person who uses Trapster, and we owe a huge thank you to every one of our 600,000 users. Thanks for checking out the application, and if you ever have feedback, questions, or concerns you can leave your comments here, visit our forums, reply to us on Twitter, or email contact [at] trapster [dot] net for support.
