DoTucson.com Celebrates It's First Birthday

Tucson-February 5, 2001-DoTucson.com
DoTucson.com, Tucson's premiere online city guide, is celebrating its 1st anniversary this February 17, 2001. Since the launching of the website last February, DoTucson.com has grown tremendously and has proven itself to be strong and successful in a time of dot-com uncertainty. The site is an interactive resource for dining, nightlife, visiting, shopping, living, and what's doin' in the Old Pueblo. It provides a comprehensive, dynamic, user friendly, informative, and entertaining resource for local residents, students, professionals, and visitors.

In just one month after its introduction, DoTucson.com reached a milestone of 3,000 unique visitors a month. That came to about 10,000 page views a day! Soon came the addition of movie reviews, classifieds, and the ability to access the website through PDA's. As DoTucson.com continued to learn and grow, the Living tab was created, giving viewers resources for services, house and home, pets, non-profits, and much more. Then, in July, DoTucson.com brought the technology of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) to the website, enabling viewers to access DoTucson.com from their cell phones. Consequently, in December, DoTucson.com was awarded a silver medal (second to Zagat.com) in the International Cell Mania WAPPY Awards!

Just a few short months prior to DoTucson.com's birthday, the DoNetwork was adopted. The DoNetwork, DoTucson.com's older sister, began to tutor and expand DoTucson.com's capabilities. Soon came E-Commerce, Broadband Internet Connections, and more sophisticated technology resulting in an even greater viewing experience.

Today, DoTucson.com receives nearly 500,000 page views a month! The website consists of over 500 listings and 100 advertising businesses. In addition, DoTucson.com currently has over 1,000 registered members who enter ticket giveaways and receive weekly newsletters via e-mail. And these numbers continue to climb!

DoTucson.com continues to excel in its class due to its comprehensive local content, free giveaways, and strong commitment to the community. With a young, innovative staff feeding and guiding DoTucson.com and the DoNetwork, the website is brilliant, exciting, and rapidly growing. As with all infants, no one knows what's in store for the upcoming years. But DoTucson.com has proven itself to be strong willed, determined, and focused on its viewers' and advertisers' needs. Don't take your eyes off DoTucson.com. Its journey will certainly continue to be memorable!
