Call For Volunteers

Do you own a website?  Would you like to increase your viewership stats?  Maybe we can help.

At Binge Browser we believe that giving users the ability to "binge" increases not only the number of pages they read, but also the number of times they come back.  In short, adding your site to Binge Browser will probably increase your pageviews, visitors, and most of all, reader satisfaction.

We are looking for a few site owners who would be willing to help us test this hypothesis.  The process is simple: we will add your website to Binge Browser, wait for a month, and then analyze your viewership statistics.  It's free, and you can quit whenever you want.

Binge Browser Reaches 100!

Today we added the 100th website to Binge Browser.  The honor goes to Incidental Comics, a charming, beautifully drawn comic, that illustrates the author's quirky views on subjects ranging from art to motivation.

These first 100 websites are only a small portion of the sites we hope will eventually be available on Binge Browser.  To get to 1000, or 10000, or even 100000 websites, though, we need to hear from you, the user.  What website do YOU want to Binge?  To get to our next milestone we need your input!  Request websites here, or leave suggestions in the comments.  

(Note: the very first website added to Binge Browser was Penny Arcade)
