iTWire has a happy second birthday E-mail

October 2007 is a very special month for the team here at iTWire because it marks our second anniversary.

Over the past two years, since telecoms editor Stuart Corner and I put our two titles BeerFiles and Exchange Alert together to form iTWire, a lot has happened and our growth has been incredible.

We now have a team of 12 regulars plus a number of guest contributors and, if content is king on the Web, then iTWire, with nearly 15,000 indexed articles in a database that grows daily, surely must be heading to towards scoring a crown.

Recognizing the importance of having the best possible range of technology content on our site to meet the diverse needs of readers that range from tech heads to CIOs, we have built a team of writers that is second to none.

Stuart and I have nearly 50 years experience writing technology issues between us and, of course, Stuart's telecoms expertise is second to none and widely recognized.

However, we are exceptionally fortunate to be able to bring you regular articles and blogs from resident talents such as gadgets guru Alex Zaharov-Reutt (if its not hanging around his neck, it's obsolete); David M Williams (who divides his time between being a corporate CIO and penning articles about Linux); Sam Varghese (a super open source blogger otherwise disguised as a mild mannered sub-editor for a daily metropolitan newspaper); gamer king Mike Bantick (who leads a team that keeps the networks of banks running smoothly when he's not writing about Halo, GTA, and consoles); Stephen Withers (a former banking IT pro that has been writing about Apple longer than many fanboys have lived); our US science writer William Atkins (a former NASA engineer who has forgotten more about space than most of us will ever know); and a number of experienced part-time contributors such as, Adam Turner, Angus Kidman and Tony Austin.

With such a team of talented writers, it is little wonder that in two years iTWire has grown into a site that often achieves more than 1 million visitors a month.

However, as we move into our third year, we don't intend to rest on our laurels. Recognizing that many of our readers come from all over the world, we intend to build an international editorial team covering all the major time zones. In the world of technology, the news happens 24 x 7 and that's the way iTWire intends to operate.

Finally, we wish to thank you our readers for your support and helping us to make our site the success it has become.
