Happy Birthday to Me!
Humzoo is one year old! We have to be honest -- we didn't know what would happen in the beginning. We imagined a few friends and family members might sign up because they felt sorry for us (and they did), but we never envisioned the wonderful community that developed over the past year.

Words alone can't describe the excitement we have for what Humzoo has become. We're proud of what we've accomplished in a year's time with the site, but more importantly we're proud of what the members of Humzoo have accomplished together. Humzoo has affected people's lives in a much more significant way than we ever imagined.

Since March 3rd, 2008, Humzoo has evolved into a community of bloggers, photographers and videographers that enjoy sharing their lives with others. Each member of Humzoo is unique in their own way. New friendships have formed, and some people have actually met in person. We've witnessed many exciting births on Humzoo and have watched each child grow through photos and videos. We even tracked someone's package from South Carolina all the way to Idaho! It just doesn't get any better than that.

We want to personally thank everyone for the support and encouragement we've received over the past year. Without each of you, Humzoo would not be what it is today. Your kind feedback and encouraging words have been inspiration for us. We're looking forward to another great year!

Update: Earlier in the day a request for stats came across our desk. We looked in the fridge and dug around in the trash and magically came up with the following stats. Just for fun we threw in the 6 month stats we posted back in September 2008 at the 6 month mark. Enjoy!

2) HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUMZOO! I'd love for you guys to throw some stats up...total number of accounts, blogs, posts, hits to the site, growth, hints as what might come in the future (like a spell check? haha). Congrats. Glad to be a member from the start. Here's to many years of blogging!

18) Happy Birthday to us all! I thought about it last night as I went to bed--our one year birthday today! Thanks, Dave & Denny. I never imagined in the beginning what we'd have and how we'd enjoy it getting to know each other and feel so connected. Humzoo is a great thing! Dave & Denny should be proud of all they accomplished--we know it has been a labor of love but still a labor!! Where is the party again??

53) Hey Bill,
We are taking an indefinite break from the photo contests but they might be back some day. There are some improvements we'd like to make to the contest system before we do and we'd like to figure out a way to get more votes and participation. Thanks for the input!
