Shiny Media

• 1.5 million page impressions
• 1 million unique visitors
• Second Telewest Shiny Awards

Shiny Media celebrates its first anniversary today with the news that November is on target to be our biggest and best month so far. Across our network of 14 blogs we look set to record 1.5 million page impressions in 30 days, over 1 million of them unique visitors.
But that's not all. In the latest Google page rankings - a measure by which higher quality sites receive a higher score, our sites have all performed exceptionally well. Shiny Shiny - the world's leading girls' gadget blog - is the only UK consumer electronics website to have a ranking of 7/10 for its home page. That's higher than T3, Crave (CNet), Pocket-Lint and Stuff.
This Thursday also sees the return of the Telewest Shiny Awards in which readers and top industry journalists decide on the best and worst gadgets on the market. Thanks for all your support in making this last 12 months so exciting. And look out for new launches from the rapidly expanding Shiny Media network over the next few months.

A big thankyou to the ladies and gents of Vogue who have named Hippyshopper as number 92 in the 2005 Vogue List. That's, ahem, above Jamie Oliver, who comes in at 100. In the magazine's own words, the List is the 'definitive top 100: the trends, the people, the places' and Hippy 'caters to the needs of those of us wannabe hippies who can't quite sever our consumerist ties.' It's in the December issue of the mag; you can see the page by clicking on the pic on the right.

By 'eck love, Shiny Media is dead chuffed to announce the latest addition to its rapidly expanding blogging empire (number 14 if you are counting), Corrieblog.tv.

Aimed at and written by Coronation Street obsessives, the blog promises reviews and previews of every episode, juicy gossip about all of the characters and the lowdown on what Corrie actors - both past and present - are up to. For example, did you know that Sean Wilson, best known as mardy arse Martin Platt, is hotly tipped to appear in the next series of Ant and Dec's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here following his departure from the street?

Or that Jack Duckworth actor, Bill Tarmey, is set to go starkers in the street in the New Year - it doesn't bare thinking about! Find out all this and more at CorrieBlog.tv
