Twitch turns Four!

by Andrew Mack, September 7, 2008 4:11 PM

It's easy enough for me to remember Twitch's birthday because it is the day after mine. Not so easy for our Lord and Master Todd as he is always knee deep in TIFF and being cool and all. So depending on how well I celebrated mine will dictate how coherent this post will be the next morning. We'll keep this post up here at the top for the duration of the day so you can float our egos with your love. Lots of news and TIFF coverage follows. Scroll down!

Can you believe it? Four years ago today Todd started this little gem of a web-site that has grown to be a force to reckoned with. Like Christopher Titus said in his show Norman Rockwell is Bleeding, "We may not have won the Blue Ribbon. But we have it in our possession". We came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And we were all out of bubblegum.

Todd has had many writers and contributors help shape Twitch into the site it is today; I am sure his thanks and gratitude are expressed for that. Some have come and gone. Others have gone and have come back. And then there is you the reader. Thanks for reading. Thanks for interacting with us. Thanks for sending us scoops. The success of Twitch is as much to your credit as it is to those of us who contribute here on a regular basis.

Here's to another successful year at Twitch!
