The Feature is One Year Old!

Birthday Cake

This week we celebrate this blog’s first birthday. What started as an “extra-curriculum” activity to a small consulting business slowly grew into an obsession and a community of several like-minded individuals. I would like to take this opportunity and express my gratitude to the authors Floyd Teter, Garet Keller and Nancy Chung for their valuable contributions and their continuous support. I would also like to thank the readers for following the blog and getting involved with its activities.

It has been our intention to keep this site as professional as possible while maintaining the contributors’ personalities and opinions. We believe there is a lot of room for good information in general, and Oracle Applications in particular. Posting tips, advice, opinions and news relevant to niche group of people proved to be quite easy and enjoyable. I am surprised more people have not discovered it out yet. Hoping to fill few information gaps as we encounter them in the official resources, we wish you find this “open source” approach interesting and useful.

You can see the most recent and most popular articles and comments in the sidebar. Let me mention some of my personal 2006 favorites I am fond and proud of:

In addition to many returning visitors, referrals from Google searches and other Oracle sites contribute to ever growing number of readers. For those interested in numbers, the Feature now averages over 17,500 visits, 80,000 visited pages and 150,000 hits a month. While interesting, the numbers are not what motivates us to keep blogging. It is the idea that the information posted today can be found useful by others (including ourselves) tomorrow and the next day, what keeps it exciting.

What would you change about this blog, if you could? Let us know what works and does not on the Feature. Which topic or type of articles do you enjoy the most? What would you like to see in the future? It is the two-way dialogue what makes this medium fun and unique. Be part of it by contributing your own ideas or providing your feedback to the ideas of others.

Happy 2007!
