It’s Our Birthday and We’ll Celebrate if We Want to
It’s finally here. The day we’ve been waiting for. The one we’ve been dreaming about. Today, on the 29th of September in the 2015th year of the Gregorian calendar, Jumpchart turns 8. Ocho. Otto. VIII. Stay a moment to hear all about how we were birthed (we spared you the gross details. Promise!)
In a land far far away in a place that looks a little bit like the world does today, there existed something that we used to call paper [pey-per]. Paper was a tool that people used to write with. For centuries upon centuries, men and women and boys and girls lost hours upon hours searching for the single paper that they needed to send to their friend or colleague.
The world continued like this until, one day, a little boy came along and thought, “there’s gotta be a better way.” So he invented what he called the “folder.” It was a little accordian-like tool that was used to house documents.
As young bucks, we used to go to that boy’s house and play a game called, “I call out a folder and you run around the folder library looking for it until you find it and once you find it, you pull it out and give it to me so I can open it and use the documents.”
Despite the long title, it was quite a fun game. But after years and years of this, and after papercut after papercut, that little boy (who was now a venerable grandpapa) decided to abandon his charts and papers and collaborative tools (jump ship, really), and dedicate his life to clementine farming.
In 1984, we scooped up the dream and we put it in a little jar and we watered it every day with love and hope and milk (whatever, dreams like milk!). Finally, 8 years ago, we looked and noticed that our dreams were too big to stay in the jar. So we put them online, where they could be safe.
Jumpchart grew a little bit in these 8 years, and we’ve done some cool stuff. Like all the other 8 year olds you know. Only Jumpchart lives inside a computer and not your house. Oh yeah, and Jumpchart doesn’t scream at you to get us a bowl of cereal every morning, so that’s gotta count for something. Check out our stats.
- Users: 132k
- Projects: 192k
- Pages: 1.6m (That’s right. Million!)
Fun Stuff You Didn’t Need to Know But Now You Know:

- Our single most loyal active user has been with us since September of 2008, and they have over 7 thousand pages written!

You have made some really good points there. I checked on the

on internet I found this website as a most excellent
web page for most up-to-date updates.

Everything published made a ton of sense. However, what about this?
what if you composed a catchier title? I am not saying your information is
not solid., however suppose you added a post title that makes people desire more?
I mean Gluue – A blog about work, life, and internet apps.
By Paste Interactive is kinda plain. You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how
they create article headlines to grab people interested.
You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you
an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
