In case it wasn't evident to anyone.

Haha If they do, then happy reading to everyone else who chooses to take a gander at them.

There other 100 millions were in ~6 month intervals. Going from 400 to 500 was actually their shortest, from what I can tell, taking four months.

According to their Blog here are the other "Milestones":

They hit 400 Million in February 2010.

300 Million was in September 2009.

200 Million was in April 2009.

Their first 100 Million was Aug. 2008.
