I was checking out our referral logs and noticed some steady traffic from Forbes.com over the past week or so. Strange, we never get linked at big news sites.

So I go to the site and find this page (http://www.forbes.com/best/2004/1213/bow001_slide_3.html?thisSpeed=35000) is a feature about the favorite websites of various CEOs and celebs.

Not that this is significant for anyone else, but I felt the need to share because hey, maybe it isn't just indie developers reading the site! hehe

hey Greg, didn't you notice the FLOOOOOOD of traffic coming from Xenopi.com? I mean, come on! I have you listed 2nd on our Resources (Links) page! :)

Seriously though, I love DIYgames - one of the few game news sites I hit up daily.. =)

You know, I think it actually is.

It's a great compliment to you that your site has been singled out as the finger on the pulse of the indie scene. But it's also a great thing for everyone here that the guy considers the indie scene to be worth keeping close tabs on.

Who is that Forbes.com? Are they well known in States?
I mean I knew about diygames - but what is their connection with Forbes one?

:D :D :D

Forbes is huge in the business world. And to be honest, that is where my knowledge ends.

Congrats Again! That's cool! Who would of thought that Mr. Sega would list an Indie Games Review site as one of his favorites.
