I know, I know...

We don't need another one of these "we're number one!" threads but I thought it might be interesting to see some statistics... so I pulled the posts from The Verge forums are came up with this!

The Microsoft activity really picked up after Tom Warren joined in December 2011. After that you can see each announcement and conference from Microsoft, Apple or Google creating a jump in posts on that board.
