Directly measured gruvr traffic now on Quantcast:
- Feb 09: Mashable.com picks us for: Top 5 ways to find concerts near you

In fact, Alltop has an entire section powered by gruvr : Alltop Concerts! You get the top 4 concerts for each of the geographic regions covered by Alltop all on one page. Check out the whacky logo we made for it. It was really easy working with Guy and I was totally stoked to hear from him - I have long followed his writing and tweets and marvelled that he always has a giant grin on! Below is the Alltop Concerts Widget - you can get one yourself!

- May 11th, Mothers Day: We discovered a wonderful way to invest in the Culture of Peace - it's called micro-credit. So to set an example, we took 1% of our monthly adsense and ticket commission earnings and loaned it to 5 women entrepreneurs in Tanzania - to raise livestock! This is not a donation, but a loan to be repaid. It's venture debt. And in the process - these women gain a more equal footing by finding a way to support themselves. Here is grüvr on Kiva.org - you can see our "investment portfolio" for yourself, let us know if you'd like a Kiva invitation - or just try it yourself!.
