Wordhugger didn’t take off

Just remembered that I bought the Hearing Aids page on Wordhugger. Just nipped over there and had a look and only 122 people have bought pages – very disappointing.

The site was a good idea and I liked the fact that the guy running it was donating a part of his profit to Kiva. It got a lot of buzz around the blogosphere when it launched but it doesn’t look like many people took the plunge and bought a page. Unlikely that it’s gonna pick up now that the buzz has dropped off.

Ah well, if I remember rightly the guy setting it up was young (still at school) so at the very least he’s got some experience of running a site and marketing it. Bet the web will see more from him in the years to come.
