Happy New Year!

With all of the year-in-review media out there, I started to think about how are year has been and what we are going to do in 2010!

Last year (2009) we:

• Launched WebbyChat! - Just to get to this point it took us about 2 years of thinking, testing, planning, and funding.
• Hosted over 1000 simultaneous users! - There were bumps along the road, but Crickey's powered through.
• Got Hacked! - We were down for less than a day, thanks to a Brazilian having fun with a DNS attack. We learned how to defend ourselves better and take precautions for the future.
• Upgraded to Version 2.0! - This took several months to complete, but we were able to add: Profiles, Avatars, New Powers, 50% faster loading, and a Robust system that can expand to meet the needs of all users reliably.
• Q&A Testing! - Development and testing began to enable the webbychat bar to become the most intuitive way to ask and answer questions. Dare I say it, its an floating forum!

Next year (2010) we will:

• Release the new Q&A/Floating forum! - This will allow our users to access the wisdom of their peers quickly and easily even when nobody is around.
  
• Integrate our users! - The thing Webbychat does best is to allow end users the chance to connect over things they love.
  
• Add some cool new powers! - Sounds, sharing, games, trophies, and more!
• Surprises! - Let's just say we can't tell you everything just yet, but we think you are gonna like it.

Crickeys and Samwel thank you for your support, referrals, and continued patronage in 2009 and will continue to to our utmost to make you the coolest kids on the block.
