Say ‘Good night!’ and Go

There’s a site called Interfacelift.com that selects digital image/photo submissions accepted from the public for the purpose of supplying desktop wallpapers to all for free. I think I’ve submitted around 8-10 photos with only three being good enough to be selected. I was under the false impression that the number in parentheses beside ‘Add To Favourites’ was the number of downloads for my photo. Two photos had 8 and the other had 6. I was just happy that it wasn’t 0 (thus confirming that the Interfacelift people made a mistake selecting my photos).

Tonight, I decided to update my account. After doing so, I noticed the ‘Download Stats’ button. I clicked on that and was astounded when I saw these figures:

6,302 downloads
14,927 downloads
8,512 downloads
Total 29,741 downloads

OMG! There are actually people - more than 5, who think my photos are good enough to be downloaded! Well, maybe they downloaded them and then deleted when they realized they made a mistake. And then they got amnesia and downloaded them again. Repeat process till the numbers have escalated into the thousands. Yup, that has to be the explanation! I still can’t believe the numbers. All this while, I thought there were 22 kind souls who had downloaded the shots. I’m stunned to learn that there are 29,741 kind souls!

Hmmm, just imagine if each paid US$1! *gasp* No, I won’t think about that. I’d go crazy thinking of the possibilities. XD I can still dream though. Of course, if I told my parents about the numbers, they’d want to know if I got paid for my efforts. I may as well just keep quiet. =D
