A site called komando.com linked to Popling on Friday and sent so much traffic to the site, I didn’t have time to thank them. I immediately went into tech support mode helping out all the new users who were signing up. Thanks to their great feedback, that process is now much easier.

Komando is the site of radio talk show host and author Kim Komando who seems to be doing a great job of help ordinary people be better geeks. In addition to her radio show, her site features a daily digital downloads, cool sites and videos, news and more.

You should go check it out.

Thanks for the traffic Kim and team!

A small bug in the firefox addon that caused problems with clicking the flash card notification popup has been fixed.

Cruise on over to the addon page and click the install button to update.

Helloooooo to all the new visitors to Popling.net! There are so many of you we are having a hard time keeping up! Our mail server is a little backlogged, so your registration verification emails may take a while to get to you.
We’re working hard to get this fixed.

Also, the site may be a little slow due to all the traffic. Don’t worry though, the little hamster is going as fast as it can.

Jamble’s awesome set of cards finally prompted me to add a new feature: card reversal.

Jamble’s cards are Spanish > English, but personally, I like to learn from English > Spanish. I find having to type the Spanish word in the retention dialog really helps me remember the word.

To reverse a set of flash cards, subscribe to the Popling and select ‘edit preferences’, then check the ‘Reverse’ button.

Popling was been featured on LifeHacker yesterday, via a link on downloadsquad.com. That’s to both of those sites for all the traffic!

For all you geeks, the write-ups yesterday brought in about 1,200 new sign ups on 3,300 to 4,000 unique visitors. That’s a pretty nifty conversion rate, if I do say so myself.

I would like to extend a special thanks to all the new pro users for supporting the service. I hope you all find the extra features are worth the $20.

Just a quick note to let you know the Firefox add-on is now compatible with Firefox 3.6. You can upgrade by going to Tools > Add-ons, finding the Popling add-on and clicking enable.
