I'm really happy for you guys. I've been here since 2001, and am well chuffed to see you do so well.

I think you've gained something like 35 thousand followers on twitter since you started the comp? I remember looking at it a few days before, and I think you were on nine thousand. Now it's fourty four!

You deserve the coverage, because you've ALWAYS offered a great service. I just hope that some of those people that have entered the competition will become paying customers...

Don't worry about people like "Phil", above. It's just jealousy.

This is an extremely good example of an Internet promotion done the right way. Well done, guys.

As a moonfruit user, I am quite happy with the service that you provide to me for the money U charge.

Just wanted to say, i wish i could emulate this kind of success for my business as well. All those spamming remarks are just palin jealous of your IM skills.

The buzz you have created is priceless!

Good luck!

You are just spammers. No two ways around it. I'm dropping followers who re-spam your stuff and there's no way in hell that I'd ever use your sorryassed little company.

Hi Rob and Angel,

I'm sorry that you are not happy with the campaign. There is no doubt we wanted to create buzz, but we didn't expect it to get so big. If you read the customer posts the overwhelming majority are very positive and people are playing with the name and being very creative. We're trying to shift things towards this more creative response as this is in line with our company objective of creating websites and empowering people to do so. People are choosing to enter and their contribution is extraordinary.

I hope that gives you a better idea of where we're coming from. The dev team, network team and customer support team are still doing their day jobs of supporting and developing the product. And in a week or so, this will all be forgotten. Take care,

Joe

it seems now your more bothered about being number 1 on twitter than sorting out your own website... I am getting fed up of it all I also agree that your just spamming now...

I think its disgusting. Spamming a service that is NOT yours. You shouldn't do things like this. You are just annoying people who think that moonfruit is a slang term for vagina.

Genius. This is a shining example of the power of social media. 8x traffic increase could never be bought. How do you guys decide which tweet to choose when there are 300/minute?? For fear that you might miss a few, I repeat mine here. I hope you're lyrically entertained... @jtgameover

rhyming about #moonfruit in my zootsuit, no point moot as i play this crapshoot for mac loot. more toots to follow suit, it'll be dutch goot

@moontweet the fruit of the moon (#moonfruit), not to be confused with fruit of the loom, these beautiful websites make your eyes BOOM.

the l33t viral campaign of @moontweet can't be beat, #moonfruit running 36 hours in #1 topic heat, 8x incrs on web feet http://bit.ly/eMJ3j

Fantastic job with the campaign. You picked the right time and the right way to go about it for sure! I wrote about you guys in my blog. Keep up the great work, glad to hear that it is trickling into more website traffic too.

Cheers,

I didn't even know about Moonfruit until I saw it on Twitter. Great campaign idea!

As for why squarespace hasn't has as many hits...Moonfruit has a better name, IMO.

Thanks Hah, that's really generous. The SS guys did a great campaign, we always acknowledged that. Did you read http://mashable.com/2009/07/01/moon...

If you check the details the campaigns weren't exactly the same. Hope you win!

You would think that a me-too campaign off of squarespace.com's (your competitor -- of which you have an EXACTLY identical campaign) wouldn't really see as much traction.

Does a #moonfruit here count double ? :)

Yes, I spotted that and fixed it. It was a bit weird.

@joe Something fishy in the comment posting system, it omitted a closing A tag after that link and broke subsequent links and buttons.

You're right MJ is bigger. As it should be ;-)

Your SEO "bigger than Michael Jackson" link, it breaketh. However, if you extend that trend graph back a ways, MJ does look to be somewhat bigger: http://twist.flaptor.com/?span=168
