Happy 2007 Fanpoppers! 2006 was a big year for Fanpop! We created a company, built a team, and launched a website all in 2006. If you told me in 2005 that I would be running a company that was building a really fun and cool website that would be used by millions of people all over the world by the end of 2006, I would have probably either laughed at you or asked if you were feeling well. I still can’t believe it myself sometimes. You like us, you really really like us! We’ve gotten so much encouragement and positive feedback from our users that we can’t wait to see what 2007 has in store for us. What I do know is that one of my New Year’s resolutions is to actually update the Fanpop company blog more regularly! For those of you who still read this, we appreciate it. The goal of this blog was to communicate and build relationships with our users. We’ve already connected with many of you through personal messages, comments and in forums across the site. Our favorite new users are chunkyrice13, pirateroro and loner614. You guys rock!
Lots of new spots being added lately with the new year arriving and new products and shows on the horizon.
Courteney Cox’s new show on FX, Dirt, is going to be a winner I think. It’s about the seedy underworld of Hollywood and the paparazzi. I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty unique and edgy. Very Nip/Tuck, which I’m a big fan of. Another new show is Grease: You’re the One that I Want, on NBC which should be a lot of fun for all you Grease fans out there. A few other shows will be returning to the television lineup as well like the long awaited Season 6 of 24 and the new season of American Idol and the Apprentice. The big news this week was the Apple announcement of the iPhone and David Beckham signing to play soccer in the US for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Pretty exciting week!
Hopefully I’ll be able to stick with this resolution, unlike so many other failed resolutions in past years.
If 2007 is anything as insanely fun and crazy as 2006 was, then I’m in for a wild ride. Stay tuned for some exciting developments on Fanpop!
