TubeNet has been up 9 years and it was September 2003 when the One Million Visitors milestone was reached.
I don't really know how many millions of hits all those visitors have made since I was not keeping statistics for them during
first 5 years. Anyhow, the fact is that nowadays TubeNet is creating over 600'000 monthly hits done by over 30´000 visitors. No need
to guess how satisfied I am with this kind of figures. I still remember well how it was cool to get just 10 visitors a day
in the beginning.
Global economy - October 2003
The global economy may be starting to stir. In the U.S., growth in the second quarter was more than twice as fast as the
prior three months. Business confidence in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, rose in September to the highest in
2 1/2 years. In Japan, the world's second-biggest economy, manufacturers became more optimistic for the first time in
more than 2 1/2 years, the central bank's quarterly Tankan survey showed recently.
However, what I have understood from several economical articles and what I have seen from my machine sales point of view,
it seems that instead of hiring more people
or spending to upgrade equipment, industries just want to utilize the investments they already have.
Despite of all that, I am optimistic as always and am looking forward to see what the last 3 months of the year will be bringing.
