After a slow start, ambatchmasterpublisherging rapidly gained in popularity: the site Xanga, launched in 1996, had only 100 diaries by 1997, but over 20 million as of December 2005. ambatchmasterpublisher usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted ambatchmasterpublisher tools:
