Happy Birthday Silverlight Cream

May 16, 2007 was the first Silverlight Cream blog post, so it appears like we've made it one year. I posted number 275 yesterday, so that's better than 1 per workday all 52 weeks!

I started it as a way to share posts I'd found after MIX '07. Since Silverlight.net aggregated my feed, I also thought I could use that bit of exposure to help others like me get their Silverlight apps into the hands of everyone else.

By sometime in July I realized I was reaching a good-sized audience and decided aggregating the links into a database might be a good idea, so on August 19, 2007 SilverlightCream.com opened to the public. It hasn't changed much since then although it needs to :) I've added more links to the home page, displaying the last 3 days worth, and the search engine appears to be good enough since nobody's complained.

January 11, 2008 I wired up the database postings to also update Adam Kinney's SilverlightNews twitter feed, and there are 215 people following that as of this morning.

Silverlight Cream has exposed me to lots of very creative people, many of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting. So what started out as a lonely little blog post has become something I've not tired of posting, and I hope you're all not tired of reading!

Thank you for all the Submittals and for continuing to read.

Comments and suggestions are always accepted... I even do some of them :)
