2011 was a very good year for EDU 2.0, with lots of growth and plenty of improvements. We almost doubled in size, adding 220,000 new members, as well as tripling the number of servers we run and quadrupling our revenue. Some other interesting numbers are:
- 6,200,000 site visits
- 75,000,000 page views
- 2,100,000 files stored (770GB)
