VMGuru.nl 2 year anniversary
Due to VMworld 2010, my job interviews and the problems with our Zimbra mail server we haven’t had the time to ‘celebrate’ our 2 year anniversary. So a bit late.
Two years ago, in October 2008, we started our website/blog called VMGuru.nl and we had an amazing first year. But our second year was even better….
First year
In our first year we managed to write 355 articles, generating 192.465 visits and 8.1M hits by 29.193 unique visitors.
Second birthday
During our second year we’ve tried to exceed our first year and despite some issues with the stability of our new server we succeeded.
We want to thank everybody who visited, supported us and gave us feedback. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did and we hope we can keep you informed for another few years.

Highest growth rates in 2010….good job Arjan
His growth is great (+333%) but the amount of post (13) puts Arjan almost last. With only 13 articles in one year Arjan doesn’t differentiate himself from the rest. He should at least double his efforts to claim his place and a vExpert badge. ;-)
You don´t become a vExpert by blogging only….it´s your total support for the VMware community and your fellow VMware mates !!
True, but when you don’t participate in that either …. Then you have no right complaining that you’re no vExpert ;)
But maybe now, when all his qualified colleagues are leaving, he steps up to the plate.
