The CTO's year 2007 in review for myITforum.com
WOW, what a year myITforum, Inc. had in 2007.
First we (Rod Trent, Megan Trent, and myself) want to wish you a safe and successful 2008.
Now for "The Year in Review" for 2007.
First, we had a booth at MMS 2007! WOW, that was an exciting event. The mad rush to get the party button was a site to see and one I hope gets out done each and every year. A very special thanks to Martin Dey and his group at Microsoft at for helping us with MMS 2007!! It was a VERY successful time for myITforum. We meet some new faces. Got to know the Intellinet folks (booth next to us) really well and made some great friendships along the way.
The buttons were gone in a few minutes...literally. So, if you are planning on going to MMS 2008 and want to ensure you get a button see this post by Rod so you can get your button early.
Our "Blogger of year" just for the sheer number of posts he has made throughout the year is Don Hite. He has posted 1192 blogs since he started blogging in 2006. Amazing!! Thank you Don for your wonderful work with a keyboard!! Hopefully others have found as much value out of your blog and articles as I have!
We have also gotten some new bloggers that have joined the team, including but not limited to Gwen Zierdt who has blogged about Microsoft System Center Essentials more than anyone...on the whole internet! Seriously...do a search. You won't find anyone that has blogged more than Gwen!!
We've added new features to the site - myITforum.com TV & Radio, SWAG giveaways, and Wiki just to name a few...plus we are on the eve of rolling out the new myITforum v2 interface along with some other new stuff next year.

One other group I would like to recognize is our SPONSORS of the site! These companies keep support myITforum is numerous ways that should not go unnoticed! Thank you!
