Twitch turns Four!

Posted by Mack at 2:11am.

Posted in Random Geek Talk .

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!

    Happy Birthday to Twitch and happy belated birthday to you, Mack!  I wonder if I’m going to get to see you this go-round, even if on the street for a quick hello?

    I’m just “Twitch-ing” with excitement!!! There’s alot of substance between those four years...where’s Marilyn when you need her to sing your praises?

  18. MikeOutWest 09/07/2008 @ 1:21pm

    I’ve lost track of the number of “gems” I have discovered through Twitch over the past year, and look forward to discovering many more. Congratulations and many happy returns.

    Keep it up guys, there’s no one who does it quite like Twitch and it’s staffed by a great team.

    Fantastic site and one I hope will keep on kicking ass for many a year.
