Redhedd.com, a social network for redheads and redhead lovers based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has seen a huge surge in UK and Canadian membership attributed to recent features in the Canadian, English, Irish, and Scottish media.

The site has over 2,800 members since launching in May of 2007, and that number has been growing exponentially since word has spread worldwide as a result of dozens of recent International print, radio, & television appearances, all intrigued by the social network’s tongue-in-cheek goal of pulling redheads out of possible extinction.

While the concentration of redheads may be as high as 13% of the population in Scotland, the 2% of the population that they comprise here in the U.S. still adds up to a greater number. But while that volume has converted into a larger number of U.S. signups so far, it has yet to translate into press attention.
