That same year, he founded what would eventually become the [IMDB]... As of last week, when IMDb.com celebrated its 15th anniversary, the site contained information on 471,378 film titles and nearly 1.2 million people, including stars, directors, key grips and best boys. Company officials point out that about 30 million unique users call up the site on their computer screens every month." [More blah-blah at the link.]
