RJMetrics Raises $1.2M For Hosted Business Intelligence Software Suite

rjmetrics

Exclusive - I first learned about hosted business intelligence software startup RJMetrics a few weeks ago, when Fab.com founder Jason Goldberg wrote how he made creative use of their software suite for his latest fundraising round; in fact he said he liked it so much he asked to invest in the company.

Fast forward to today: RJMetrics has landed $1.2 million in seed financing from Goldberg, early-stage VCs including SoftTech VC, Lerer Ventures, SV Angel and Zelkova Ventures, and other angel investors such as Wharton Professor Kartik Hosanagar and DuckDuckGo CEO Gabe Weinberg. → Read More

Instagram Now Adding 130,000 Users Per Week: An Analysis

Since launching just six months ago, Instagram has quickly become one of the web’s top photo sharing services. The company recently passed the two million user mark and announced the launch of their API.

RJMetrics sampled data from that API and loaded it into its Dashboard for analysis. This yielded detailed new insights into Instagram’s growth and user adoption. I provide a full breakdown below, but here are some highlights:

  • Instagram is currently adding 130,000 registered users per week
  • Instagram’s 2.2 million users upload 3.6 million new photos per week (or 6 photos per second)
  • 37.5 percent of registered users have never uploaded a photo
  • 5 percent of users have uploaded over 50 photos
  • 65 percent follow nobody, and only 12 percent of users follow more than 10 people
  • For users who upload at least one photo, there is a 45 percent chance they will upload a photo the following week
  • Those same users have a 25 percent chance they will upload a photo 12 weeks later, representing a significantly stronger retention rate than Twitter.

Chatroulette Is 89 Percent Male, 47 Percent American, And 13 Percent Perverts

This is a guest post by Robert J. Moore, the CEO and co-founder of RJMetrics, an on-demand database analytics and business intelligence startup. His last guest post was an analysis of Twitter user data.

It’s no surprise that Chatroulette is the latest media darling. It has all the elements of a good story: technology, mystery, celebrity, and sex. If you haven’t heard of Chatroulette, this Daily Show segment is a good primer.

We were itching to study Chatroulette in a RJMetrics Dashboard, but no one seemed to have any good data for us to explore. So, we decided compile the data ourselves by leveraging Chatroulette Map, some scrappy programming, and a passionate tech community. We soon had detailed data on 2,883 Chatroulette sessions that tied users to geography, gender, appearance, and more.

Here are a few highlights from our findings: → Read More
