As you might have get known to it, the "true 3d mandelbrot type fractal" thread has received
massive public attention

http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/true-3d-mandlebrot-type-fractal/

in the last few days On 16th of November 2009 the thread and the
very detailed  summarization of user twinbee on his website:

actually there is going on quite a webwide earthquake

If one searches for "mandelbulb" on google, one finds actually many more references to that pages,
there are lokal newspapers, and several blog entries reffering to the theme, here is a short
list of some example references:

so, and now for some statistics for the effect on fractalforums.com

fractalforums.com has had 24.000 visits on a single day, with corresponding page views of nearly 100.000
normaly fractalforums.com has around 1.000 visits a day

so, again i have to say thank you to the many contributors, and especially user twinbee for starting
such a thread ...

still mandelbulbs solve no real mathematical problem, nor it gives technological breakthrough, but it is a nice
method for generating 3d images, and compared to the amount of images that has been explored since the
encounter of the plain 2d mandelbrot, we will stay tuned for a lot interesting images that will come ...
 
thank you and keep on experimenting ...
