deviantART about to hit 50 million submissions!
And its Alexa rank is nearing the top 50
Sunday, February 3, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
In a few hours, our friends at deviantART will hit their 50 MILLIONTH submission (deviation).
But for me, the most amazing thing about deviantART is its popularity. It is now in the top 50 most visited websites in the world.
Let me put that in perspective. deviantART is more popular than MSNBC.com, CNET.COM, MTV.com, Gamespot, IGN, and many other extremely well known sites.
In fact, more people go to deviantART.com on a typical day than CNN.com. That's how popular the site has become.
What started out as a skinning site has become the world's dominant art site. Obviously, customization isn't a focus these days, I think it's still amazing how the site has grown. I'll be the first to say that for the life of me it's beyond my grasp. I've never (and continue not to) understood the desire of people wanting to submit random stuff. I understand people wanting to share skins or icons or software and other such things, but not scans of sketches or random art. And that's what makes deviantART so revolutionary. It's not an obvious concept (at least not to me).
Congratulations deviantART on your 50 millions submission!

Me too, actually since it launched and I've never gotten anything packaged with the content.
Here, there and every other skinning site.
There's still good stuff to be found at DA, it just takes ALOT longer to find the gems from the junk these days.
