Best viral growth in a community in 2011
Starting my “Best of Social Media 2011” (#BestofSM11)
First up: Best viral growth in a community in 2011
1) Pinterest
At the heart of the bewilderment are the 421 million pageviews generated in the month of October. This growth is apparently a staggering 2000% growth since the company last reported traffic numbers in June.

2) Crock Pot Girls / Crockin’ Girls
These girls went from a new Facebook Fan page with zero followers to over 1.2 million Likes in just weeks! They even changed their name to “Crock’in Girls” because of of the anti “Rival” women out there (the makers of Crock-Pot) and started a NEW group and was able to generate +500k likes in weeks after that. Nearly 2 million likes in just a few months! Some mommy bloggers are saying there was some black hat involved, but others dismiss this.
3) Spotify
Spotify is getting its systems in order to support a planned 100 million users in the future, job openings suggest.
4) Other?
What other rapid community growth have you seen in 2011?
