  3. Hamdi: I do, since I manage the web presence. Obviously we can’t disclose any personally identifying statistics, but what we can say publicly…
    As of today (August 4) we’ve had somewhere in the range of 1500 signups via the online registration.
    So about the same # as the # of students in a big high school (at least, a big high school when I was in high school, which was some time ago…)
    The other big # is # of comments–we’re approaching 2000 comments now. To satisfy my own curiousity I exported them all and pasted them into Word, and discovered they make a 202 page document in total. So give yourselves a hand, you’ve collectively written about a novel’s worth of comments, recommendations, book reviews, etc. 🙂

  15. Nara/Tashnuva: The gift cards are for a variety of stores. I don’t have the complete list at hand (I do the prize draws and contact the winners, but don’t actually handle sending out the prizes).

  19. Mary: We’ll definitely be back last year. It may not be exactly the same, but hopefully whatever’s different will be better. 🙂
    Closer to the end of the summer we’ll have a thread to get feedback from teens about what they think next year’s Word Out should look like.
