We are pleased to announce the launch of GrabStats.com, the Internet's first community-driven industry statistics directory. We thought that there are lots of interesting statistics and figures out there that show where various industries and categories are going and with that thought, said why not try to amalgamate them all into one place, sort of like an almanac. Well, here is the start. We will be adding thousands of statistics over the next few months and hope you contribute a few of your own as GrabStats.com becomes one of the Internet's largest depositories of stats and figures.
A copy of the GrabStats.com launch press release is below. Enjoy and please give us some feedback on the beta service along with any bugs / issues you find.
