The blog I started in my bedroom at 19 years old has grown nicely over the years, expanding out of a tiny, rural Scottish town to gain team members in New York, San Diego, San Francisco and beyond.
We're now one of the world's top blogs, with millions of readers worldwide and 1 million+ daily subscribers through channels like RSS, Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook and the rest. "Million" is also a word that's appeared at the end of our revenue numbers for the last couple years - a fact that would have been inconceivable back in 2005. Even better: we're now growing faster than ever before, as our Compete stats show.
But enough horn tooting: hearty congratulations to the Mashable team on another successful year, and limitless thanks to you, our readers, for making it all worthwhile.
Oh, and a special bonus for those not up to speed on the Mashable story: we've included a selection of press coverage below.
