comScore, a leader in measuring the digital world, recently released their study of growth of visitors of the top 100 U.S. Internet properties in 2007, and GLAM Media was one that “topped the charts.” Boasting a hefty growth of 213 percent during the year, GLAM Media capitalized off of the increased coverage of celebrity news, pushing the Women community segment up to 35 percent. Part of GLAM Media’s growth is due in part to their acquisition of Quality Health Network, MyYearbook.com and LifeScript.com, among others.

Glam.com, hosted by ServePath, is “the glossy and editorially driven flagship site of Glam Media – a daily must-see for all stylish women.”

The comScore study showed that 2007 “was a strong a strong year for several of the largest properties” of which GLAM displays terrific growth.

*Ranking based on the top 100 properties in December 2007.

Top-gaining categories include Politics (given the upcoming election-year coverage) and Women Community-related sites. Coupled with Entertainment News, GLAM was able to continue a rapid growth factor.

Other notable stats taken from the GLAMmedia.com site also demonstrate how these properties are becoming market segment leaders.

ServePath would like to tip our hats in recognition of this tremendous achievement!

SFBeta was a hit last night with several companies presenting their services and offerings. ServePath was there, strategically positioned in front of a wall of photos that I will refrain from commenting on. I spoke a bit with Christian Perry, who told me he was “impressed” with the turnout.

Below is a selection of “amateur” photos that I snapped throughout the event. Enjoy!

SF Beta is San Francisco’s largest monthly startup mixer. Since launching in September, 2006, our event has brought together thousands of people from hundreds of startups, creating innumerable connections along the way.

Some people come to our event to be social, some come to make business connections, and many come to do both. Our event, called the “king of Web 2.0 mixers,” offers something of everything.

As of this writing, over 150 people have responded as attending, representing a wide variety of companies including (and in no particular order): Google, CNet, Intuit, Joyent, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Valleywag, Gracenote, Digg, Intel Research, Sun Microsystems, Yahoo!, Facebook, Heidrick & Struggles, Justin.tv, Buzzlogic and many other established as well as up-and-coming companies.

Here are the companies that have signed up to give a demo:

• Mosio - “mobile questions. answers. people.”
• Seero - geo-broadcasting platform
• BlogBard - listen to your favourite blogs on your iPod or iPhone
• PlaceShout - “what places make you want to shout?
• MadeIt - “invitations that keep the party going”
• Dipity - “All the Time” Facebook application
• SanFran Music Tech - summit for music/tech community
• Hictu - “changing your perspective”
• UserSuggest
• NextDB - “revolutionary hosted database”

I will personally be roving around taking pictures of the event. Others from ServePath will be present as well to answer any questions you may have.

Come have a drink with us and share some of your stories. Hope to see you there!

From the ServePath Knowledge Base:

By default, a Linux server doesn’t reboot after a kernel panic but waits for a user to manually reboot the server. To check this behavior, check /proc/sys/kernel/panic.

This represents the amount of time (in seconds) the kernel will wait before rebooting if it reaches a “kernel panic.” A setting of zero (0) seconds will disable rebooting on kernel panic. If the value is set to 1, the server will display the error message that a kernel panic occurred and will do nothing.
