Gus What?!

Gus What?! turned 1 today. Looking at the results, I wrote 45 posts or an average of 3.75 posts per month and got a total of 84 comments. Not a bad start considering I survived the first year of blogging.

When I started this blog, I knew there were three things that had to happen in 2006 for me to actually keep it going: 1.) The introduction of Open AIM, 2.) The release of AIM 6.0. and 3.) Write some Plug-ins. I had no problem writing plug-ins and was deeply involved with AIM 6.0. However, I had no control over Open AIM—This is AOL’s greatest gift to the AIM community and it will only get better. I think the traffic statistics prove I was right. Traffic did not really pickup until the AIM 6.0 betas started rolling out in October and has been doubling every month since. I was pleasantly surprised that January continued the trend.

My plan for this year is to post twice as much useful information as last year. I will also be working on two more plug-ins that should be out by mid-year (Unfortunately, my day job keeps me from doing it full-time.) As an update to my first post… The AIM 6.0 about window still has me in the credits:

Thanks for reading this blog and I look forward to another great year.
