SHY United "Site of the Day"

[Twice-Shy]

Hello everyone, just a quick post to let you all know that SHY United was awarded "Site of the Day" by the Daily Mirror today (Monday 10th March). The Mirror is the sceond largest daily tabloid in the UK so it's a brilliant achievement and great publicity. The Mirror has a readership of millions.

The Mirror runs a daily column called 'Amy's I' which looks at all things internet related. It was this column that awarded us site of the day.

The exact wording was:

SITE OF THE DAY

www.shyunited.com

A TOUCHING website that begs to be mocked, Shy United aims to boost timid people's confidence by getting them together with others of their kind. Presumably in small groups.

same here. Thought this site would be snowed under with new members.

[unionjackattack86]

yeah I thought it would be more popular too

We actually received 612 hits on the day we were mentioned in the Daily Mirror. That number is about 6 times our daily average. We are still a young site and hopefully our popularity will grow.

I found this site on the Web User website.

Yes, we've just received a three star review from Web User. I've put the review on on SHY Press Section of our site. All in all, they said that it was a good site but a little boring to navigate. We'll work on that over the next few months.

As they say Rome wasn't built in a day, can't say I've had any problems navigating around the site although the colour black is a tad depressing pherhaps.
