Sources close to the Thompson campaign have passed along the following first-day results for ImWithFred.com:

  • Averaged close to 1,500 people per hour signing up as friends
  • Averaged $12,000 per hour in contributions
  • Raised more than $220,000 dollars via the website
  • Seen just under half of the Friends send a message to others asking them to sign up or give.

    • We'll see what traffic measuring services like Alexa say in a day or so, but this has to be considered a powerful shot across the bow.
