343,425 and Counting

Just a quick update to say that the A Visit to Adobe PhotoshopNews feature story has had 343,425 page views since it was posted at the end of July. That’s a whole lot of “visits” to Adobe!
Originally started as a lark during a visit to San Jose, the photo essay has become PSN’s all time top story. The story has been linked to by a wide variety of web sites and blogs all over the world.


From shesaiddestroy.org
“Ich bin immer noch sprachlos angesichts der unfassbar hässlichen Typo auf dem “War-Room”-Schild. Ich meine, wir sind doch nicht bei einem deutschen Mittelständler, der seine Konferenzräume nach alpinen Gebirgszügen oder südeuropäischen Metropolen benennt!”
Wer einmal das Adobe-Team beim Arbeiten und Herumalbern beobachten möchte, dem empfehlen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des (gut designten) Adobe Büro Komplexes. Neben den schicken Räumlichkeiten lernt man einige Mitarbeiter kennen und riskiert einen Blick in den “Photoshop War Room” und ins “Cafe Adobe”. Viel Spaß!
From idouga.com just the link to the story is cool:

adobe本社に行ってきました
エルエルが行ってきたんじゃないよw
記事の方は英語なんですけど、数多くの写真を見ることが出来ますよ。しっかし、デケェー会社だったんですネ・・・。
会社の中の写真とかもいっぱいあるんですけど、なんつーかさすが技術者軍団と行ったカンジで、みんな好き勝手してるのネ(笑
こういうのってステキ・・・。
But, even from within the US there were tons of posts…

Such as this one from a Pixar Animation blog. The post says: “PhotoshopNews features an insightful photographic journey in ‘A Visit to Adobe’. Though the offices aren’t quite as cool as some of the ones the Pixar folks inhabit, the article presents workspaces of a few engineers responsible for one of the most widely-used graphic programs.
Be sure to check out the office of Engineering Director on Photoshop, Marc Pawlinger, where you’ll find some familiar characters from ‘Toy Story!’”

In fact, PhotoshopNews has been a bit of a hit, it seems. Since our launch on April 1st., 2005 PSN has had just under 600,000 unique visitors who have made over 1.8 million visits and looked at over 3.2 million page views. In only 147 days! That’s an average of over 4,ooo visitors per day (although the average daily visits has spiked way up recently– 9,700/day in August).
We’ve had some great stories already. If you haven’t check out the Photoshop Windows Club series, you really should.
We also have the most definitive collection of Mac Photoshop Splash Screens that include both the shipping as well as the “alt” version and shipping dates of every version since 1.0.
The best way to see the “Best of PhotoshopNews” is to double check the PSN Top Stories news category.
We’re working on new stories all the time. I recently went out to visit Adobe Seattle and have fun shots of the Photoshop Tech Support crew that will be coming soon. We’re also trying to get more Widow stories-Ruth tells us there’s a new one in the works about Thomas and dancing lessons? (we’re not 100% sure)
So, stay tuned, stop by, say hello!
Thanks for your visits.
Oooops, now it’s at 343,611 and counting…
